Except ours still has all the original guts. The one on the Midway was smashed to demilitarize the unit before turning the ship over as a museum. I contacted them when we were looking for technical manuals. The dosent is a ex navy tech and adapred some comercial motors for the reels and built a simulator to drive the reels and the indicators. Every national stock numbered item has a DEMIL code assoicated with it and determines how it is to be desposed of. Most of the computer equipment calls for it to be made unusable. I think ours were savved because they were bought directly from UNIVAC and belonged to Johns Hopkins rather than the NAVY. When they get the USS Adams (DDG 2) Museum in Jacksonville it will be inteeresting to see how the 1219s in missile plot survived. They might be the only others left.
