I guess somebody could rip out the gold/copper and leave the rest in

mainframe then a C64 anyway).
I wonder what a Q-7 would be worth in scrap....
Here's a relatively new twist- I just lost a very nice local Unibus
system because the owner was worried about "environmental liability",
and they wanted it properly scraped. I've seen this several times now.
This is absurd bullshit and very sad.
