Try White Sands NM.
It's been a few years since I last visited the facility but we're talking in the 20-teens and they were still using data reel-to-reel tape and punch cards. I was told it's because they never got the budget allocation to update their equipment, as in, ever. Odds are they're still using equipment that looks like that. Exactly.
