The Strawberry Fields m/c was a hire, whose whereabouts is unknown.  The unit 
auctioned off at Abbey Road's Sale of the century was the SFX console (in 
drab BBC regulation grey) used on the White Album.  It went to Mike Oldfield 
for 1000 pounds, eventually making its way back to Streetly, and is now in 
the hands of Sir Paul.
