A library near me has art work facade about 20 feet tall with the castings of old radios,
tv's and computers. Some of these I'd have liked to have had. I doubt any were
saved after making the original casting.

Ah, good to know that there is a spare core stack around :-P
I remember - having already
commented on it...
The front panel is quite dump. Everything is handled in the CPU and the
PSU.
BTW you know that the schematics of the DDP-516 can be found on bitsavers?
Kind regards

I can accept someone keeping the front panel and dumping the computer more
so than when on strips a keyboard from the terminal. Two reasons - One
because with the front panel one can build something underneath to replace
the original computer. Second - The computer may simply be too big to keep
around
But I am sure there is a Fridays restaurant somewhere in the USA with a
UNIVAC front panel or something sad like that on the wall.
