Fast-forward to ~2005.  While back visiting that department, I found out
that that old analog beast was still running the line and they were
trolling eBay for parts to keep it running.

I was on a project where the manager(s) ended up buying the box on eBay,
causing prices to rise.

On another visit ~2015, the update:  they finally found a new digitally
based control system that was fast enough to finally replace it & did.

Dear Miss Manners:
Please list some tactful ways of removing a man's saliva from your face.
 
Gentle Reader:
Please list some decent ways of acquiring a man's saliva on your face. If
the gentleman sprayed you inadvertently to accompany enthusiastic
discourse, you may step back two paces, bring out your handkerchief, and
go through the motions of wiping your nose, while trailing the cloth along
your face to pick up whatever needs mopping along the route.  If, however,
the substance was acquired as a result of enthusiasm of a more intimate
nature, you may delicately retrieve it with a flick of your pink tongue.
