John Bohne r has both a Univac-3 and an LGP 30 (and a half). Neither
run right now, but were "decomissioned" and collected complete from the
owners.
Univac3 photos are linked to at end of this article:

I'd rather not have my web site in the google crawl of this article, so
apologize for the extra step. U3 has tube tape drives, but was a mix of
transistor, and tubes.
