Here's another little item that I have, though I'm not sure if it's rare. I
can't figure out what it actually came from, but it's a UNIVAC branded
drawer pull (I believe). I imagine it came from something like a console
desk, though I've scoured photos of various UNIVACs and haven't seen
anything exactly like it.
It makes a nice little desk ornament at least!
Here's a photo:

Also in that photo is a NeXT and an SMS card from an IBM 1130!

Mine is: a working PLATO terminal -- orange plasma panel -- skillfully
restored to
full operating condition by Aaron Woolfson. It's connected a PLATO system I brought back to life, runnning
on an emulated CDC 6000
series machine (DtCyber emulator by Tom Hunter).
The Living Computer Museum in Seattle has several, both the microprocessor
based "PLATO V" terminal I have, and the original straight logic "PLATO
IV"
terminals built by Magnavox. All working. I've seen them logged on at the
Cyber1.org PLATO system (that's the one I mentioned).
