Just spotted this in last week's Want Advertiser - didn't get around
to reading the computer section... Located in Townsend, MA maybe an
hour out of Boston? Rest is literal from the ad. I called just now to
see if it was still available, but no answer. I have no affiliation
with the seller.

Watch out for this, guys! This was sent to me, and looks very real, if
you click on the link. They ask for everything and more. The amount of
info they ask for, would make it very easy to take your identity, money,
etc!!

I like that... I could display the 11/70 (decdatasystem570)... I'll
have to get some time to work on it...

I received a lead on some interesting junk located in Iverness, Florida,
and I need some eyes and ears. Is anyone local to that area?
The interesting junk in question is an AN/FPS-7 radar set (minus antenna).
This is a very large, powerful, 1950s air defense set - look for lots of
very large waveguide.
And if you go to the yard - who knows, you might see some cool DECjunk.

I would also chip in a little... but even though I'm sort of in
the neighborhood (about 20 minutes away from him), I don't have
the storage space for such a haul...
Then the question becomes how we part things out to people?
Does someone start offering them on ebay? Do they get parted out
to the people who contributed to save them (and who decides the
value)? Do they get maintained as a central cache where CCmpR's
can purchase spares (with the contributors getting a price break)?
So much hardware... it would be shame to see it disappear from the
available pool forever... (if course, that would mean that whatever
is left is that much more valuable).

I would think about it... but I'm a 'foreign national'. Funny they think
they can discriminate against permanent residents that way... ho hum.
Well never mind - I WILL bring my Connection Machine to VCF-East! :-)
Wonder if there are prizes for 'most blinkenlights'? :-)
BTW anyone else who owns one please get in touch - there can't be many of
us!

Subject: Fwd: Data General Eclipse in East Aurora, NY being scrapped
Hey Sellam!
Sorry I can't talk much at the moment, but I would like to ask you to pass
this on to the ClassicCmp list. I cannot take the gear but it should
_definitely_ be rescued. Wish I had the space (and time too! This is short
notice for me.). Guess the fella found my email address through the Rescue
List or maybe a web search, or ?
East Aurora is a suburb of Buffalo, it's about five to ten miles southeast
of the city and about ten or so miles "inland" from Interstate 90.
Best regards to everyone. I promise to write to you, Sellam, later in the
Fall to see what's been happenin' lately.
