Message from wastecom about the origins of these Convergent Technologies machines:

We're a county run electronics recycler. I do my best to find the cool vintage stuff that comes in to sell through our reuse program. The stuff we sell, helps offset the cost to Scott county residents and businesses and keeps items out of the landfill. I don't know the history of these as they came in from a resident. My guess is they came from an estate as there was quite a mix of various electronics from consumer to commercial electronics that happened to come in all at once. Hope this helps a bit and keep checking as we are constantly getting new stuff in.

Also from this same seller, a Convergent Technologies MightyFrame S/80!
