I guess the only good thing about this is that at
least
these computers did not end up at the scrappers. It
appears that there are numerous salvageable items in
this lot. Maybe some other failing 11/40s will live
again because of these neglected ones that were left
out in the weather. It does look like things weather
better in Sunny California than they do here in South
Carolina. You would not want to see what they would
look like if they had been sitting out in the weather
here for 15 years.

In Ohio they would have been a rusty spot in the grass. I wonder what they
were thinking having those units in a yard 15 years uncovered, maybe they
were waiting on the scrap value to rise enough to be able to scrap them?
