Classic Junk Sought

I wonder what kind of reply that heading will get?

Actually, what I am looking for in this particular
case would indeed be junk to most people.

During the 1960s, Control Data Corp created a line
of systems using the 3000 series designation. The
peripheral cabinets for these were particularly
(IMHO) cool looking, with cabinets that had sides
bedecked with rectangular bezels backes with dark-
blue-smoked glass (or plexiglass). Disk controllers,
tape controllers, and unit-record controllers were
all in cabinets like these, about 4 feet high. I
think CPU and memory were in similarly-designed
cabinets that were about 72 inched tall.

So, I'd love to find one of the 4-foot cabinets,
it would not matter what the controller was, or
if it worked; hell, it could even be an empty
cabinet.

If anyone finds/has one, I know of a good home
for it...
