IBM 3420 008 Magnetic tape storage on eBay -- needs rescue

[George Wiegand]

I'm in Columbus, Ohio ~2-3 hours from Cincinnati. What did you have in mind?
I'm not personally interested in the units but I don't want them to be
scrapped either. By the way, are there any other known Ebay "Scrappers" to
be ware of?
