This appears to be the building that contained the machines:

I found it via the "GlaserExpress" trailer that appears in a few pictures. I used to live nearby a decade ago.

I'm amazed that such a central space can be simply abandoned for decades.

I'm curious what is stored on all of those reels of tape they packed out. There was no obvious clues that I saw as to the previous use for those machines.
