I have a box of red-white-blue 1976 bicentennial 5081s in pristine
condition. I once had 5 more but they were lost in a basement flood.

As for where you'd obtain any of these compilers (except obviously
5740-RG1), I'm not sure. You could try the roughly five organizations that
have actual Model 20 machines in their collections. They include the Living
Computer Museum in Seattle, the Computer History Museum in Mountain View
(California), and the Deutsches Museum in Munich, as examples. IBM Research
in Boeblingen, Germany, also apparently has a Model 20 on display, and
(allegedly) it's a working model -- though I have no direct knowledge of
that. You could also try asking W. Van Snyder at NASA's JPL who (it seems)
has also been trying to track down these older compilers.
I am at the Living Computer Museum, which is why I am interested in one.
I asked Boeblingen people, and they don't have it. I think they would
also be interested if I found one. Definitely their machine runs,
at least some of the time.
Many compilers require disk or tape, which we don't have.
I am wondering about someone with card trays left over from years ago.
thanks,
