When I worked for DEC back in the late 70s / early

wonderful scrap / salvage center in the Mill complex (basement of
building 5 IIRC) that sold off 'scrapped' DEC parts to
employees that would have otherwise gone to the smelter. Just about
anything
DEC made could show up there (albeit in pieces, not
whole systems).
Sadly, it's all true. DEC scrap was a wonderful place and, yes, I knew
more than one DEC employee who had an amazing system in their home's
basement made out of "scrap" parts. I also worked for DEC in the early 80s,
but not in New England so I only go to visit the Mill on occasion.
