It's a (slightly updated) working reproduction of an Enigma machine! Wikipedia says it "makes use of 40-point rotors, allowing letters, numbers and some punctuation". It also appears to have Centronics printer connectors (what, no USB?)

there's also a paper version available as well! :D
I wonder if they can sell it in France?
i've got a pocket enigma, and on the next trip to bletchley i'll buy the electronic kit. here.
I'm guessing the Centronics connection is for the printer.
Sadly, it's probably easier to engineer an Enigma machine than it is to build a USB interface to it. Centronics is well understood and simple.
It doesn't seem to have the additional rotors or the plugboard. And I wonder if it's compatible with any of the originals, what with all the extra characters. (The real ones were just A-Z, no numbers, no punctuation.)
Crazy Germans.
