Weirdstuff "rescued" (didn't scrap) a Xerox 860 and held it for me to check
out.
I did so, and it appears to be complete (w/o diskettes, unfortunately). It consists of the
860 CPU w/(2) 8" FDD, Keyboard, Monitor and Printer. I did not open it up to inspect
it.
Here's a couple of links on this system:

(The CHM link is a PDF of the original 860 brochure...)
If you are interested in acquiring this system, please contact me off list and I'll
let you know who to contact at WS.
I have no financial interest in this transaction...
Regards,
Lyle
