Does it have the door on?
I'll actually be in Cincy on 5/16 with my girlfriend to attend a wedding of
one of her college friends ... maybe I could make something happen with
your chassis and Richard's boards ... OTOH, I promised my girl I wouldn't
take any more big stuff ... LOL ... I bet a 4000/300 could fit in the trunk
of a DTS.
Not promising anything but let me think about it :O
Best,
Sean

Hi computer fans,
I have been asked to dispose of the VMS version 5 documentation set in my
office. This consists of 40 grey binders and all their contents.
They are located in Alberta Canada.
This is a large and heavy load with or without the binders. But who
knows,
maybe somebody out there wants such an artifact?
I also have some spare boards and other parts for a VAX 4000 Model 500 if
anybody has an interest in such things. They are smaller and lighter than
the doc set.
May I ask what boards and spare parts in general you have? I happen to
have a nearly bare BA440 chassis that could use some VAX 4000 parts. Or
perhaps there is someone out there that would like to combine their parts,
your parts and my chassis to make a while VAX 4000?
I do not particularly need an(other) operating VAX and am willing to part
with the chassis if someone can use it. Unfortunately, it's pretty bare.
I got it from a local guy when I bought a MicroVAX 3100. He had sold a VAX
4000 Model 300 to someone and all they wanted were the boards. So he
stripped it as instructed and left the chassis. It needs a fan, P/S,
console panel, front door(s), storage pods and various cables. It's
basically a box with a backplane. It's available for pickup in the
Cincinnati, Ohio area, or perhaps a meet can be arranged within a few hours
drive.
