I would like to find out the original prices of
some of the DEC
equipment I have when it first came out, preferably the UK prices. I
only have a couple of catalogues but they don't cover all the things I
am interested in. If anyone has catalogues and could scan the pages
with prices and options etc that would be great. The equipment I am
interested in
are:
MicroVAX II
MicroVAX 2000
MicroVAX 3100 (Models 30, 40, 80, 95)
VAXstation 4000 VLC
VAXstation 4000 Model 60
MicroVAX 3400
PDP11/24
VT220
VT420
LA50
Alpha 433au
DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP
DEC Professional 350
For the record, I just found this in a box:
DEC of Canada Limited, Canadian Price List (173pp)
Authorized Distributor Group Price List Q3 FY 88
Effective January 18, 1988
I'm guessing the VAXes on your list would have been current at that time,
more or less. I don't really have time to compile the prices right now, me know if it's important to you.
The reason I am interested in prices is that I am going to be displaying
some of my systems at the DEC Legacy event in the UK next month and I want
to compile a card of facts about each machine I display. I suppose the
systems I am most interested in getting prices for are the MicroVAX IIs.
The smaller of the two has the following spec:
BA23 enclosure
KA630-AA
16MB of memory
RQDX3
TQK70 (was TQK50 when I got it)
DELQA (was DEQNA when I got it)
RD53
TK70 (was TK50 when I got it)
The larger one is
BA123 enclosure
KA630-AA
16MB memory
RQDX3
TQK50
DEQNA
TQK50
RQDX3
KRP50
DHV11
DPV11
RD53
RD54
TK50
I would be happy with an indicative price for just the smaller one.
Regards
Rob
