That's news to me, and it sounds quite interesting. Would you mind elaborating

Ok, I've studied the pictures carefully and given it some deep consideration,
and I've decided that I do not want it. I hope that somebody adopts it!
Judging by the power tools that are also listed in the same event, I'd say that

A long time ago, I had the incomplete remnants of an oddball terminal which I
retrieved from a junk pile at a small, obscure school in Pasadena. I'll try to
describe it as best I can, based on old memory. I could have sworn that it had

I'm sure relieved that you didn't say "DEC TU77 drive" and "near Riverside,

How about removing the (presumably aluminum) platters, case castings, and any
other aluminum parts, grinding it all down to fine aluminum flakes, making
thermite out of that, then using it to slag the rest of the non-aluminum parts?
