Hmmm...I was flipping around on cable today and saw a glimpse of a machine.
In the movie Manhattan Project (John Lithgow and some kid), toward the
end of the movie they're sitting in the lab after the kid's assembled his
little nuke and in the background it looked like an 11/20 or an 11/45 and
definitely had a pair of DecTape drives on it. Just got a glimpse though
because I blinked. Thought that was amusing since the film was made in the
80s.

Hell, Princeton Plasma Physics was still using an 11/10 (or 11/05)
to measure stuff at the Tokamak in about 84 or 85. RCA Solid State
was running an 11/20 up through about 85 as well in Somerville, NJ.
