I was going to rescue one at the beginning of the year but I ended up
handing it over to The Computer Museum. It was way too much for me to
handle (about 20 racks of equipment) and was also very historic: it was
used as a training simulator for the Apollo 11 mission.

It's now sitting comfortably in one of the warehouses of TCMHC.
