Most of the computer props are rented from other companies so probably they were not
dumpstered. Apex electronics in Sun Valley, Ca is an electronics store with lots of
recycled equipment and components for sale. They have a section roped off that displays
old terminals that can be rented for props. It’s fun to browse there.

So, here I was binge watching a scifi series called "Night Sky",
which sadly was not renewed, but I digress...
In one of the episodes two of the characters go to see a man who
apparently is a monitor for something having to do with the devices
that teleport people all over not only earth but other planets as well.
He has this workbench covered with computers that look like mostly
PC's but some could be Suns or other real computers. And many displays
with really cool graphics. And sitting in the middle of all of this
is ------- An IMSAI-8080. :-) Front panel is clearly visible in a
number of scenes.
Of course, with the program being canceled one has to wonder, did it
go back into a prop warehouse somewhere or just the nearest dumpster?
