They are rough, but with some work I think they can look decent:

I hope to get some (or all?) of the boards soon too, since they are all
missing. The third machine has indications inside that it was an 1108
(LISP) workstation. I don't know if I'll be able to get hold of any
software or docs yet.

Wow! Never seen a pile of Xerox stuff like that in Ohio... I think
they must have been much more common in CA and elsewhere.
Nice haul!

I hope you get the boards too. Nice Find. Not may of those left.
The 8 inch hard drives are still installed in the chassis so they may
still have SW on them. However they do not seemed locked down. There
is a lever if they are an early model Quantum, Q8020 or 8040. some of
the late model Q 2080s were auto park.
There is also a motor pully lock which I can see off to the side in
one picture (second set, third pic) . It is what makes me think they
are not parked.

That is Q2020 or Q2040 and Q2080 which are 8 inch hard drives of 20,
40 and 80 megabytes respectively. Memory seems to be slipping in old
age.
