Well... Just for reference, the Burroughs machines were very popular with
the TV and Movie industry as props due to the large number of lights on the
panels. A number of the Burroughs 205 programmers consoles can be seen on
the show "Lost In Space" as the flight consoles on the bridge of the
"Jupiter 2" spaceship

A fan group of this show called "Alpha Control" (found at
www.alphacontrol.com) does have some 'extra' panels for sale as memoribelia
(can't spell that) of the show for only $7500US.

So... it becomes a matter of just how much you really want one... B^}
