and thought that some of you might be interested.

I don't need the item, myself, but saw it up there and thought I'd pass it along because it looks like a pretty neat device.
I saw this on ebay...

opened worldwide
Good call-out. I've opened the auction up to worldwide shipping.
I got two of these in a set off of eBay from a Denial member who didn't have time to go through everything and test them. (There are a lot of switches!) One of the units needed a couple of memory chips (were missing). Both boards are now complete and test OK. I'm splitting them up, keeping one for my collection and selling the other. What makes this one especially collectible is that it is the first prototype before the guy tried to start his business and ran a few ads in magazines. It's a real relic!

Oh, it was you selling it 
I'll try and convice my wife
, because I really like this stuff, but odds are against me. Also, there were issues with customs in Italy with the VODER, maybe because of the big package.
One more question: which one are you selling? The all-original one, or the repaired one?

Wow, I didn't even think about that... good question.
Yes, it was this board (the older of the two boards) that was missing the 2 RAM chips. All RAM is in sockets. They are in the top-left corner of the RAM bank. If you look closely, the two new chips have 3-lines of text and the others have 2 lines of text, but they are all the same brand. Hitachi, if I remember correctly.
