That's exactly the correct period rack
:) Appears to maybe be missing one of
the antitip feet, but no huge deal. I have one identical to that, holds two
2113's, 2748B, 7900A, and a I2C paper tape reader/punch emulator (THANK YOU
BOB!).
Kind of a long drive for me. I'd LOVE to buy
it, but... anybody
have any ideas for shipping that I can contact QUICKLY? Thanks in
advance.
I believe an empty rack of that style is around 105 pounds. Typical
dimensions, figure around 21 wide by 72 tall by maybe 30 deep. Secure front
door with duct tape, metal band it to pallet (with a piece of cardboard on
top - the top is painted/textured like the sides), wrap in plastic, then
ship out the door. See if the seller will band it to a pallet & such, from
the looks of where the rack is they may have that capability. When you call
a shipper, see if they will let you do a ship to terminal, instead of ship
to residence. If you can do that on both ends, it saves a LOT. From one
end... still helps.
