3278 keyboards.  ;-)

I’d be happy with a couple of sets of keycaps to turn my 3278 data entry 
keyboards into 3278 typewriter keyboards.  ;-)

Nice work spotting the factory ..
Needless to say, it might not even be possible to do anything, but hopefully 
someone takes an interest!

With shad's hint of Saronno, it's not difficult to spot:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/21047+Saronno,+VA,+Italy/@45.6308352,9.0453149,399m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x47869159b2e042bd:0xb507c6b15c96294f!8m2!3d45.6242491!4d9.0359607

I believe those guys are based somewhere in the US. Sometime in the
last few months they made a trip exploring several places in Europe.
They usually do not provide in their videos the exact identity or
location of the places they visit, although a lot of their viewers can
figure it out with a bit of research.

I have seen some interesting old computer gear briefly appear in a few
of their other videos. Not something they stop to focus on, as most of
the people on this list would.

I think the factory is the Satilai in Saronno.

I like how they stole all the raised floor tiles except those with
1000lbs of tape drive on them, making extraction of those drives extra
impossible.

Abandoned FACOM system in Italy?

[Evan Linwood via cctalk]

I'm guessing this could be known to others on the list, but I haven't seen it 
mentioned, so posting just in case.
There doesn't seem to be mention of any recovery effort in the comments (that I 
could see).
