"This backplane used to be installed in one of two DECsystem 20 units we had
deployed at Agfa Gevaert in Munich, Germany. I was the field service
engineer in charge of this site. We had to replace this backplane with a new
one back in the late 1980s due to some intermittent problems and I was able
to keep the replaced item as a souvenir."

The listing says "Local pick-up only", and it's in Denver, Colorado.  Someone
should really save this (although the chances of finding all the boards to go
with it is pretty slim).
