IBM Audible Random Timer
Attached: 4 images IBM Audible Random Timer lolwtfbbq thread, part 1 of however many. This is a legitimate IBM product. Not for sale, clearly an internal - probably Field Engineering - tool. Here's some exterior views of the device. It's a plastic hobbyist project box about 45x70x110mm in size. It was originally plain white plastic, but this one has been brush painted gold. My best guess is Testors gold model paint that used to come in the tiny glass bottles with impossible to remove caps (https://www.dickblick.com/items/testors-enamel-paint-gold-14-oz-bottle). Tell #1 it's an actual IBM product: Anyone knowing IBM machines from this era (spoiler: mid 80s) knows that stamped serial number tag. Proper tag, proper stamping, proper typeface on the stamp.
