I'm unaware if many IBMs around that era shared chassis, but that is an
identical configuration to my System/34, from the 8" jukebox to the
programmers panel.

Two of these just came up free for pickup in Canada (Post here to
ccmp only a couple days ago).

(I'm not sure about its $30k tag, the woman I picked my /34 from said she
paid $155k for hers in 1980)
