Not to go too far down memory lane, but I recall those 2-inch machines were actually donated to WSU by NASA - and numbered in the hundreds.
Also, I'll never forget the live-delay machine - record on one 2" machine, through a series of Rube Goldberg pulleys, playback on another 2" machine 10 feet (and 10 seconds away!
I DID see a Sony 'port-a-pack' at a thrift store in Oxnard a few months ago... I'm guessing it's probably still there. Because of the physical size of old studio cameras, you're not likely to find them on eBay.
Wait - HHAAAA !
Also SMPTE runs a museum somewhere.

You might find a public access facility or a school that would at least be analog.
When I went to school in the 80s, WSU still had RCA TK44s and 2" quad machines. Long gone now.

I have to shoot a fake 1973 television panel show. The goal is to use, to the extent that it's even possible, actual broadcast cameras from the period. Is this just a complete pie-in-the-sky ambition, or does anyone have any ideas of whether or not cameras from this era are around anywhere, and functional. Not that I can even imagine what we would record to.
Any thoughts or suggestions would deb appreciated. I would also be curious to know who made the dominant studio broadcast cameras in the 70's.
