I've gotr a small board and test rig that came out of the
upstate NY UNIVAC plant he mentions on the site. As pointed out on
the one page, a user by the name of Frozen-Planet has been selling
bits and pieces pulled from the plant on eBay for quite a while.

Forgive me for making some fun, but found this
interesting WWW site
covering a Univac installation.
It was apparently set up by the grandson of a Univac scapper who had the
presence of mind to see that there was some neat stuff left there, not just
a
bunch of shaped metal at so-much a ton, and set up a website.

I like the picture of the documentation library.
This kind of reminded me of the scene in "The Thing" when they finally find
the spaceship in the ice. (Huh?)
