The HN title is misleading. This is an IBM ThinkPad 701C.
I thought this was some kind of restoration of something related to the old, vacuum-tube IBM 701 computer of 1952 vintage. The only hint I had that it might have been the iconic ThinkPad was the "butterfly keyboard" phrase.
The linked blog post makes it clear that this is indeed a ThinkPad and not an old 701.
