    The prop for the WOPR was actually a refrigerator box that was painted black and had Christmas lights. It also still exists. It was auctioned off for several thousand dollars a few years ago.

      Which is pretty cheap for a machine that could start World War III, but also expensive for a refrigerator box but that’s government contracts for you.
