Some commentors on YouTube were trying to figure out when this video was made (and came to the conclusion around 2015/2016).
I had read a text description of the contents of the building. Apparently there were also some silicon wafers found in there, and these were rescued.
Amazing to see that there is still any recognizable Commodore equipment after 20+ years.

The YouTube comments echoed my sentiment that the PETs and the tape reels should be rescued. I suppose it all is the property of the current owner, who was (I assumed) the fellow in the video escorting Bill Herd. I imagine nothing could be taken without his approval.

It's probably too late for that, though, as it sounds like the was a demolition crew working in the building.

I'm interested in comparing this with the "Deathbed Vigil" to try and match some of the locations.
