Not that I have any experience of it in practice, but shouldn't those whole machines be possible to emulate gracefully by now? If not in software alone, at least combined with e.g. a decent FPGA. Of course that's of limited benefit if the jobs also include service of the actual hardware, but it seems like it should be good enough to get experience with the machines as an environment for programming. (And certainly compact enough to have at your house)
