$10. Looks new, open box.

If I knew what that was, I might be impressed :-)

It appears to be a piece of networking gear that's mounted in a 19 inch cabinet that's bolted to an earthquake proof mount that is itself mounted to a concrete floor with lead anchors.

So it's not a woodworking thingamajig?

It's an enterprise level router/firewall.

Router.

Made in 2011.

Still very nice even if you're only using it as a dumb switch. Good piece of hobby-kit.

Would do a reset-to-factory (hold the little button in during power-up) and if you've got a device that can connect to that serial port, consider installing the latest firmware.

That's was my first thought/question.

$10 for a switch? A little ungainly but I had to buy a four port switch for $40. It was the cheapest I could find, at the time.

My luck, though, I would have bought that and it wouldn't work as just a dumb switch and it would need $50 in ancillary stuff.

Nice find!

Looks like I missed it, currently $790.99 if I try to add it to my cart.

LOL...the Amazon link was just for reference, I think he found the actual item at a thrift store.
