One of my first jobs at DEC was on terminal sales.
The LA36 printing terminal had the logic and PSU cards mounted in the
plinth.
The logic card was on the back of the pull down door and the PSU inside.
So easy to service it wasn't true. This compartment was quite roomy
and inside
fresh ones just arrived you would find all kinds of stuff:
Wrapped food of all kinds
Bibles
Copies of the Boston Globe
Cigarette packets (full and partly full)
Assorted screwdrivers
Spanners
Loose change
A note saying "meet me at the rusty scupper" (local bar)

It is really a good idea to peak inside a computer that is new to you
before you power it up.
