[rescue] UNIVAC looking awfully modern (ebay)

[doug at kittlemusic.com]

I had a look, it seems possible the chip is thru-hole - not enough resolution to verify. the rest is early 70's looking very much like a pinball machine board!

"You are looking at a UNIVAC circuit board from the late 1960s or early 
1970s."

LOL.  There is a surface mount IC on there.  I don't think those were
widely used until the 1990's.

An enhancement of the image reveales something like this on the
connector:

"9053 ASSY 7500490-00 S SERNO 001913"

Also the type of printing on the connector indicates 1990's
vintage to me.

With the fat pins and the 40 torroidal coils, I'm guessing this
came out of a UPS or other power distribution chassis.
