Ed Grothus has a bunch of grey boxen. They're in the good
building, and quite intact seeming. I could inquire for you if
you're serious.  Assume it'll take a year to talk him out of it
(unless he says "take it"). You have a big truck and are willing
to drive 1500 miles on a moment's notice, of course. They are LASL
so are as likely customized as not.
