One of the model 20s is more or less a parts car, probably used to keep the production one running. They intend to use it for the same purpose.
The 125 seems only to be the processor, as there were no S/370 era peripherals with the lot, other than a 3504 with the top shaved off, apparently used as a desk. The red model 20 system, as a whole, is indeed quite nice, even if they have their work cut out for them. I would have pursued this had it not been in Europe, and also being drained from doing a similar rescue about five months ago of a lonely 148.
