I've had several people try to buy the machine, but the sales have fallen thru for various reasons. I originally thought I had to have the machine sold and gone by the beginning of aug, but I got an extension to the end of sept. for the storage space. Unfortunately the sale that was suppose to move the machine last weekend has seems to have died. If I don't hear from the buyer by tomorrow, I ll need to find someone else to take the machine. So I am starting now since I am running out of time. After my original post several people said I was asking too much money (~$500), but other people seemed to be interested. Is there anyone that can pickup a VAX 11/750 at a location ~40 miles west of Chicago this coming weekend? If you can pickup the machine this weekend it is yours. Pay me what you think the machine is worth, and if you have to spend the money on a truck to transport the machine instead, then so be it. I really want to see the machine saved. Let me know ASAP. If I get no responses by Friday, I'll have to make arrangments to have it hauled away for scrap on Monday. It has to be out of the storage space by Monday evening. Following is a list of what is included. Thanks again for your time, sorry for the short notice........ stan johnson Here is what is included; VAX11-750 including ......Full Set of spares, front panel down to the power supplies, ......Print Set,
