Someone wants to film a short (~10 minutes) section of film for a non-profit
movie in the central florida area. They are looking for someone who has 70's
vintage PDP machines with mag tapes & such. Semi-operating condition
preferred. I'm under the impression they'd film where the gear is, so it
wouldn't have to be moved. If anyone can help please email me off-list.

I am doing
prop research for an upcoming student short film
which aims to recreate a minicomputer laboratory setting from 1970
and include some close-up shots on various minicomputer gear of the
era, such as the large reel tape based memory storage units and
monochrome consoles.
I happened upon the PDP-11 in course of my research and I
thought I'd just go ahead and ask if there is
anywhere in the state of Florida where we could accomplish this goal
of using authentic 1970's minicomputer hardware in the film.
The runtime will only be 5-10 minutes and the crew and set
should be relatively compact.
I'd appreciate any information or pointers you can help us with.
Thank you!
