Yesterday we visited Computer Solutions in Orange, NJ
and were given a
lovely HP3000 Series 70. It's a large, but very lovely beastie and so
far, at least, remarkably tractable. Also in the load were boxes of
paper tape, tape reader , full 3000 docs and an HP2108. They also gave
us an Apollo 400 system, server and 6 workstations. Very nice people,
and aa lovely donation.
Without a doubt... say, was this from inventory (stuff they
sell), or something they once-uon-a-time used?

I checked them out since they're close enough to where I live.
