But yes, the original is long gone. The front panel survives in the
University of Auckland Computer Science department:

Regret for abandoning it was the main reason I started the

It's a 30 and runs DOS. He now has a converted selectric console. Its
very
impressive...
OK, the last time I read this, it seemed that he no longer had access
to the system. Here's a quote :
After that the system languished. I occasionally fired it up to
demonstrate it, but eventually I gave up paying the rent on the office
and had
the power disconnected. The building has gone through several owners
since then.
At some stage someone broke the office door down and stole the
bookshelf that
held my manuals. I haven't been back there since.
That was written in 1995. So, I figured that the machine had likely
been trashed by now.
