Does anyone have experience with the old MJ Research / Bio-Rad Opticon
qPCR machines?

Some of us at the Counter Culture Labs / sudo room hackerspaces are
working on getting some of these up and running. We're having trouble
getting them calibrated and it seems like we need some initial
calibration files and possibly an earlier version of the Opticon
Monitor software (maybe version 1.x? we've only found version 3.2).

If anyone has any knowledge or knows anyone with a working Opticon
device that would be really helpful. Or if anyone has knowledge about
how to calibrate these things.

You could try pinging the people at  https://www.boslab.org/ 

I remember meeting a guy who worked for MJ Research and built the first thermal cyclers at a few meetups there.  He may be on their mailing list.
