Unknown Sperry Univac Display Boards
I picked up three Sperry Univac boards in a lot of scrap the other day: http://imgur.com/a/9BBQ0 The first image is representative of two of the boards. They are heavily built, conformally coated, and the one in the second picture has an aerospace type connector in one place. The displays are HP LED hex displays (or a second source). The aluminum frame around the board appears to be a heatsink for the displays and a few of the ICs. Does anyone know what these are? I was going to remove the displays from the boards for use in other projects, but I don't want to destroy them if they're useful to someone else. Thanks, Jonathan
The displays look like those on the AN/UYK-44 Never had to go into that area. Art? -----Original Message----- From: Systems Glitch via vcf-midatlantic Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2016 2:00 PM To: vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org Cc: Systems Glitch Subject: [vcf-midatlantic] Unknown Sperry Univac Display Boards I picked up three Sperry Univac boards in a lot of scrap the other day: http://imgur.com/a/9BBQ0 The first image is representative of two of the boards.

Looks like we've got a winner! I figured they were too new to be relevant to the museum's machine. Heat gun time! Thanks, Jonathan The AN/UYK-44 is part of the Navy Tactical Data System that the Bendix was used in. :) Tom
