Interesting assortment, but unless one needs lots of lamp drivers
(W040), dunno how useful most of those are.  Without looking up each
listed handle number, I can only take a stab, but ISTR most of the
numbers out of my Straight-8s don't match.  To be sure, some do, but I
see lots of unfamiliar handles in the auction picture.

Hmm... one wonders where the rest of the -8/S went.  Probably part of
it to the previous auction... For anyone here that _has_ an -8/S, they
probably aren't looking for the light board, but they might be looking
for bulbs.  Shame that one looks like it's been sat on.

Unless someone _really_ needs to replace the console light board on an
otherwise intact 08/S, I can't see how that auction is going anywhere.

AX08... the closeup looks like Negibus notation.  Can't tell much more
than that from the limited pictures.
