The sad thing is that no one will pay him the big bucks and push will
come to shove and he'll probably scrap the thing. Nothing worse
that seeing "big iron" go to a scrap yard, IMO.

Zane,
I usually pay anywhere from 4 to 10 cents a pound for the
large stuff. He thinks a University is going to come along and
scoop it up for $$$$. I did have one a few years back I received
free from the Kentucky DOT. Never had it running though. Had to
lose it when I relocated to NY.

Preoccupation is my main occupation.....
Just came
back with a van full of goodies.
11/750 with box's full of docs and prints.
Early versions of VMS software and New docs in binders.
Way cool! I'd love a setup like that, just don't have room.
I also found a VAX 6000 but I beleive the owner
has unrealistic
ideas of what he can get for it.
Most people that are trying to get rid of VAX 6000's seem to have rather
unrealistic ideas of what they can get for them.
