Sounds to me like you have some ARCNET hubs.  Standard star topology.
RG-62 cable going from one connector on the hub to one machine.
Typically the card in the machine will have a jumper on board to
enable/disable termination for that card/cable segment.
Good luck finding someone who will want to take them off your hands (but
you might get lucky).
