Until a few years ago, the best place to find a running VAX was the Living 
Computer Museum in Seattle.  (That is, a non-micro VAX.)

The museum is still there, but has been closed since early 2000.

I believe the VAX runs on emulated disk, though. 

They do have VAX disk drives, but I don't remember RM05 being one of them.

Keeping old disk drives running is much harder than old CPUs.
