Entrex Data/Scopes (Keystations) spotted in Germany

We JUST found TWO Entrex Data Scopes on eBay.de from March & April 2018...in GERMANY!
And they SOLD!  And we missed them...  

Haben Sie eine dieser Data/Scope Keystations gekauft?  Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Sie es getan haben!

AND


April 28, 2018    222930393667 (archived by me)

(original auction, now removed, was at http://bit.ly/31bKSob )

On first guess, one might think that these two auctions are one single Keystation, listed twice.  However, while each of them are remarkably similar, a closer inspection of the labels and serial numbers indicate that they are, indeed, two distinctly separate Keystations.

So, how did we miss these?  I guess we failed to learn how to set up eBay alerts in GERMANY...that's why...ebay.de only, NOT reported on ebay.com!

Auction 222852550966 (serial # 220123)


Auction 222930393667 (Serial # 213948)

The Seller was 30gradundsonne, and here's his recent auctions and Feedback

Deeper research also indicates that 
the seller is also rectronspannung, and here's his recent auctions and Feedback

Of course, we immediately contacted 30gradundsonne, and here was his reply:

hello , sorry , i have two of the datascopes sold one year ago . we have no more from.the system , best regards from germany !

So, based on his descriptions in each auction (see archive hyperlinks near the top of the page), it sounds like this seller might have the rest of the system...because he says at the end of the description in both auctions:

UM MISSVERSTÄNDNISSEN VORZUBEUGEN : 
HIER WIRD NATÜRLICH " NUR " GENAU DER AUF DEN FOTOS ERSICHTLICHE NIXDORF ENTREX 480 COMPUTER ( DAS SOGENANNTE " DATA SCOPE " ) VON MIR ANGEBOTEN, UND NATÜRLICH NICHT DIE NIXDORF - ENTREX 480 - SCHRANKWANDHOHE MAGNETBANDSPEICHEREINHEIT !!! :-) !!! 
MFG. 

To English:
TO PREVENT MISUNDERSTANDINGS: 
HERE OF COURSE " ONLY " EXACTLY THE NIXDORF ENTREX 480 COMPUTER ( THE SO-CALLED " DATA SCOPE " ) VISIBLE ON THE PHOTOS IS OFFERED BY ME, AND OF COURSE NOT THE NIXDORF - ENTREX 480 - WALL-HIGH MAGNETIC TAPE STORAGE UNIT !!! :-) !!! 
KIND REGARDS.

NOT the Wall-High Magnetic Tape Storage Unit?  This implies that he knows what this is.  is that because he actually HAS (or has seen) the wall-high Magnetic Tape Storage Unit?  Or has he seen it somewhere, and while he does not have it, he knows where it might be?  This is what we really want to know.

As a follow-up to my message on June 5, I asked this very question, but have not yet received any reply.  But with the language translation from German to English, it may be possible that he thought he already answered this question when he said "we have no more from.the system".
