Takes standard 8" media or something peculiar to itself?

You think the internal is a standard mech? The DIN's on the back are
obviously non standard for interfacing... too bad it doesn't come with
a Nike Missile, not THAT would make for a cool lawn ornament! ;-)
He's out on Long Island, NY... I'm assuming they must've been a Nike
Installation around that area, though the only one I'm familiar with is
the old Sandy Hook Nike Missile base in New Jersey that was supposed to
protect NYC.

Those are standard style post-1960s mil connectors.

It is actually hard to name a place in the populated US that did not
have a Nike site. They were everywhere.

I saw some photo's, there used to be an active ready Nike site in a park
area with apartments right across the street... and to think, some
Nike's were nuclear tipped too! Whoa...

It is not uncommon to find softballl fields, parks, etc named "Nike
Field." There is one in the Chicago suburbs which still has a
platform that used to hold the radome.

South end of Arlington Heights. When I was in high school (1967-69),[1]
there were two or three radomes at the site--which was in the middle
of large corn (maize, for our cousins across the Atlantic) fields,
which have been industrial parks and suburban housing since the 1970s.

Actually Nike sites were guarded by some of the nastiest of german
sheppards with the security patrols, in fact they would only listen to
their handlers and no one else, they were trained to kill and nothing
more, this was due to the fact that some nikes were nuclear tipped and
the fear was Soviet infiltration of the Nike sites, its a shame we don't
have even an ounce of that kind of paranoia from the Cold War left today
in our military, we could use it.

There are plenty of places in the US, mostly out West, where the
German Shepherds with give your balls the same royal treatment.

Two guesses at places with this level of security: Nellis and Dugway.
