Rare launch computer core memory used in the Apollo launches

Extremely rare Ground Support Equipment RCA-110A Launch Computer Core Memory Module, 8 x 10.25 x 5, bearing an affixed Radio Corporation of America parts tag reading, “Product Spec. NA 2273, Assy. No. 1608889-50, Ser. No. 4C,” with another below, “Logistic Serial No. 0005, Date Cleaned 6/13/69.” One side of the module has six serial-type ports labeled “J7” through “J12,” and an additional label provides instructions for appropriate connector mating. In fine condition. Core memory originating from the RCA-110A computer, which served as the ‘brains’ for Saturn system checkout during its time on the launch pad.
