If you're into bragging about your Wang being bigger than someone else's, you can always go for the whole terminal:

That's a very big Wang indeed. I can imagine the stories you could tell people - "I had my Wang shipped across the country in a very big box." Or you get it delivered to your house and your wife asks, "What is that??" and you say, "That's just my Wang, Honey."

...reminds me of this:

Buyer is the same person buying up the old IBM beam spring boards.

Yep, and evidently the seller didn't know what it was either, as he put in the description, "It has the letter B in a circle on it."  That's the Burroughs logo.

The buyer of that board always snipes at the very last second on the auctions I've seen.  I was thinking about going for it but don't have a clue as to what sort of switches the board has and being it was quite heavy didn't want to pay that much for the shipping only to find out it used crappy switches.

Anyone know what switches were used in the old Wangs and Burroughs?
