The DEW Line was well known and publicised up here (Canada) in the 60s - if you ask anyone over 50 what the DEW Line was you'll probably get a half-sensible answer - if you ask what SAGE was you can expect a blank stare or 'that guy on the mountaintop'. This suggests it's quite likely those were SAGE consoles: very large round display tube with arrays of rectangular pushbuttons and indicators to either side of the tube, the camera shot was too quick for me to spot if the light guns were present. The gist of the news story was that the DoD had moved their operations to new aboveground digs, but was still paying for upkeep of the old underground site - along the lines of $2 million a year. Suggestions for de-acquisition or use were being considered, such as a private-sector data vault, all of which suggests the junk may well get cleared out.

I realised SAGE was the whole system, not just the processors, but wasn't clear, for example, whether the DEW line was a separate system with it's own monitoring or whether the DEW line radars fed into the SAGE processors and hence part of SAGE. I get the feeling you're implying the latter.
