big iron DASD and tape free for prompt pickup

Hi folks, Norm Aleks and I have some big iron bits to give away, caveat is they have to be picked up on or before Wednesday July 19. Location is Oakland, CA. You'll need a truck w/liftgate (preferably), or we can arrange for our storage facility's forklift to help move if you can meet us on the morning of the 19th. Items are: 3 ea. IBM 3380-B4 DASD slave (must hook to -A4 to be used) 1 ea. IBM 3880-2 DASD controller 1 ea. IBM 3880-3 DASD controller 1 ea. IBM 3380-4 DASD controller 1 ea. IBM 3420-3 9-track tape drive, low density 2 ea. IBM 3420-8 9-track tape, high density These are BIG and HEAVY and would look VERY COOL in your basement or office. Or bedroom, if you're into that sort of thing. Some of the 3880 boxes are in the less common red color scheme. The DASD and controllers can actually be put to practical use, by scrapping the electronics and installing plywood shelves, wherein they become once again useful storage devices. [Disclosures: Some of the cabinets are in less than pristine physical condition. One of the 3420s is missing its door]. Contact me off-list if interested. What's not picked up will go to BDI for auction & most likely scrapping.
