Where it says
"DITIGAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION CI 3 NODE, SWITCH USED"
that's basically meaningless. The "3" in the photo just 
means that at some time in the past it was (probably) 
#3 node on the CI. There are unlikely to be two other
CI nodes involved in this auction!

I'm not sure what is stuffed into the main box, but
it was certainly possible to have the RX02 some distance
from the main machine cabs.

$1500 is a tad optimistic for a machine in unknown condition!
