    I'm interested in anything from the SAGE system, and this does look 
like one of the PUs (Pluggable Units) with the handle removed.  However, I 
didn't see it until the auction was over (no one bid on it), and one of 
the seller's statements bothers me:

"Do not email or call me with any questions about the item. Emails and 
calls will not be answered."

    Here's a picture of a SAGE PU for comparison:

    And another of a PU in the testing station:
