RESCUE NEEDED, EASTERN U.S., TIME-CRITICAL!

This stuff is apparently going to get hauled away by the Garbage Gorillas on Wednesday of this week, so move quick and reply directly to the sender (john(a)egh.com, or call at (781-861-0670) if you want the stuff... -=-=- <snip> -=-=- From: jasantos(a)ultranet.com (John A Santos) Newsgroups: alt.sys.pdp11 Subject: Free Unibus hardware (act fast...)

If anyone near Lexington Mass wants to grab any of it (or if you are willing to pay shipping, for the smaller items), please email me or call me at work. Unfortunately I just found out about it today, and it is going tomorrow, so there isn't much time to rescue this stuff from oblivion. Items include: Unibus backplanes (4 & 9 slot, a couple of each) 4 or 5 Unibus cables, varying lengths (at least one is brand new.) Lots of Unibus jumpers (M920 and some of the long ones (M9200?)) Thousands (well, dozens) of Grant jumpers (G727?) 2 DELUA's + cab kits 2 UDA-50's + cab kits (I think one has one bad board, the other works) 1 DH11 (and maybe some spare parts) 4 DZ11's (with CAB kits) 2 KMD11's (X.25 interface with a KMC11B and a line and modem board) 1 or two DV11's (synch multiplexor) 1 TMB-11 (TU10/TE10 controller) 1 RH11 (Unibus to massbus interface, has a stuck bit) 1 LP11 interface several DL11 boards, various vintages 2 Able (?) boards that each emulate 4 DL11's. 2 BA11 10 1/2 inch expansion boxes, one in pieces. 2 TE16 and one TE10 9-track tape drives, mostly disassembled 2 TM03 (maybe one is a TM02) Massbus tape formatters. Lots of H945? power regulators (I think they take 18V AC and output either +-5V DC or +-15V DC, depending on model) Anyway, these are the boxes about 4x6x8 inches that sit inside BA11's and PDP 11/40- vintage CPU cabs. There are also some print sets and manuals for some of this stuff. There might be a few Massbus cables, too. There might also be an old PDP-11/40 CPU board set. If you want any of this stuff, either email me (at work is better; I'll see it sooner) john(a)egh.com, or call me (781-861-0670). I can't guarantee that any particular items on this list won't be grabbed back by the powers that be, or that any particular item works, but hey! Many of the bits were working when last used, in October. This list is all from memory, so I could be wrong about quantities. It is mostly sitting in a big pile waiting for the trash-man, who rumor has will be coming on Wednesday, so this is both your first and last chance. If you want some particular item, but can't arrange shipping or to drop by, let me know and if it isn't too big, I can probably rescue it and save it for you.
