Free DEC/mini stuff in Washington DC area

Of rather variable quality. Packing up delicate stuff and having it survive to the other end requires patience and effort. My last experience was less than wonderful: bought a Tek 465B scope in beautiful condition for a dime. (Well, OK, lotsa dimes, but it was a good value). Seller put in a cardboard box with some styrofoam peanuts. It arrived with just about every front-panel control busted or bent. Which was a just crying shame, as the unit had a calibration just a month or two ago. I bought a not-so-working-but-with- all-the-knobs 465 and spent several evenings replacing the busted BNC's and knobs on the front panel. I'm proud of the work, but it just broke my heart to see the unit arrive with obviously bad shipping. Even though I had paid for insurance, the seller didn't buy insurance, and wasn't willing to do anything to help me other than say "tough luck". I'd much rather that my surplus stuff find a good home locally than deal with all the packing. Tim.
