My aunt worked at Calcomp (not sure for how long but defintely in the 
late 70s), I think in QA. She sent me a couple test plots on some 
plastic back then and I still have them.

I think it would be funny to rescue the plotter and send it to her, but 
it would probably need to be rescued again soon afterward.
