It would not be a safe home until they have solved their eviction

Given the significance of the machine in question, IMHO it would be
safer in care of private individuals until an Australian computer
museum is funded -

I believe
the Wollongong port predated the one at Bell Labs. Peter
Gray tells me he still has the original machine they used, and he'd
like to find a museum-like place to keep it. No idea whether it
runs. Greg Rose should know a lot more about this matter. Greg, are
you out there?
Having the original Wollongong Interdata 7/32 might
be interesting to the Computer History museum, though
it might be expensive to transport it across the Pacific.
