Default MA-1 remains question

In "This New Ocean," the remains of MA-1 were described as being "small
portions of the capsule, the adapter-ring, and the booster."

Where are these remains now? The Garber facility? Is it possible to see
them?

Here is a picture of the reconstructed capsule in the 1960's:

Several years ago, I saw them at the Kansas Cosmosphere. Haven't heard of
any removal, although, with Max Ary, who knows?

That's how I discovered when I got home that I'd screwed the shutter setting
on my camera, for which I'd bought fine-grain B&W film to use specifically
on those remains (an illustration for a space combat game I've yet to
finish). I got about 1/2" of useful picture on one side, the rest badly
underexposed.

Fortunately, I also carried a backup camera with color film. Eventually I
will upload the new changes to my website, and I will include some pictures
of this.

As of Aug 03 they are still at the Cosmosphere...
