Seen one of them on former military radio plant here, defunct, already broken in peaces. Their cases were great to store hunter weapons locked. And their coolers are like 30cm in diameter, practically ethernal, w/great airflow but noicy. The one i'm talking about was shut down in mid-80s, when Misha bring "perestroyka". I'm unsure about model number, but they were made at the beginning of 70s. I've been told it used Algol language. p.s. googling wasn't very helpful, because that site is dead now.
