I recall all of the IBM 1620 front panels in "The Forbin Project", along with CDC 3000 series (green glass) cabinets. In fact, I recently pointed out to James at starringthecomputer the inexplicable presence of three CDC 607 tape drives visible from the opeating room in the pilot of "Emergency". Only visible for a few seconds, but there they were. I suspect that the innards of those drives had been stripped out and simply made to spin the tapes. --Chuck
