An unbelievable waste of money when a simple hole in the
console has worked perfectly well for the last 30 or 40 years.



And you still can't get rid of the hole, as it will be necessary for
operations when the computers go down?


Nope, no hole in the console. And that's because the tower shaft sits
on the end of the building, not directly over the TRACON. The plastic
tube would have to run outside the building.
