You mean besides a time machine? Keep looking...a lot.

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^}
