I'd be very interested to hear that a 704 was still running somewhere! 
Paul Pierce has a 709 in his collection, but his website makes no claim
that is running.

At the time of the CHM 1620 restoration, the restoration team was in 
contact with a fellow who had a running 1620 that he had owned for some 
years.  His machine was running with authentic IMB core. I have no idea 
if it still runs.
