Anyone wanting to see an IBM 360 Model 30, and not able to get to the
CHM, can see the one on display at the Science and Technology Museum in
Terrassa (immediately west of Barcelona.)
This links shows what is on display, and where they came from:
http://ordinadors.mnactec.cat/ibm-system360.html
This is the exhibition catalogue:
http://issuu.com/mnactec/docs/dossier-premsa-expo-historia-ordinador?mode=w…
(Note - in Spanish, and Google translate doesn't help much with the
first link, but you can work most of it out.)
After a bit of a gap I have been busy on my 360/30 project, working on
the 1050 (console typewriter) interface so that programs can have a
sensible way of doing input and output (via a serial port.)

Catalan, actually, which is probably why the translate didn't work so well.

Yes, sorry, realised afterwards. Letting Google automatically detect
the language works better!

I love your tale of getting a real 360/30 going (I read it some years
ago, too):
http://www.ljw.me.uk/ibm360/Saga.html
Lots of interesting diagnosis & repair work.
Do you know what eventually happened to the machine after you left it?

I didn't find out until relatively recently, but in the "mid 90s"
the
Auckland University Computer Science department were invited to look at
the machine and got the front panel (it would have been difficult to do
much more in a short time, given where it was.) That would have been
something like 10 years after I abandoned it!
You can follow the link from my page to their info.
The other thing I recently found on www.ibm.com was a photo of "the
first IBM System/360 in Australia in 1966" which I think is the same
machine (also a link from my page.)
