Digital Translator

I had been watching this on e-bay but, in the end, decided not to bid.

From the auction listing:
“This wonderful designed and engineered Panasonic RL-T500 Translator/Data Center uses plug-in modules to translate between different languages. Today you might smile about the specifications but in 1979 it was a revolutionary piece of technolgy based on AMI’s ROM technology.”

Went down at 25 dolla.

Deployed into real life, removed from the happy blue background of the photo, the device might not have come of quite as cool. I think I made the right choice letting it go.
