VAX 11/780s - Masscomp - Valid equipment available

It does have wheels..... : ) I doubt that an empty cabinet is 350 lbs. I moved one into the house by myself. I just put a small ramp at the front door. I lifted one side of the cabinet to put the first set of wheels onto the entryway, went around the side, and pushed the back half up the ramp. The bitch is moving a fully loaded 780 around on the carpet. I relocated the 780 and the Unibus cabinet to the other side of the office - both cabinets are loaded and sitting on carpet. That was a job..... The trick is to combine the moving and cleaning operations. I removed everything except the SBI backplane from the chassis, rolled it into the driveway from the garage, and powerwashed it. Then, I individually cleaned every component I removed. The boards went to the dishwasher, and the metal chassis components and fans were cleaned with a garden hose and detergent. When the chassis was dry (in Houston, during the occasional low humidity summer day, things dry *real* fast) I rolled it into the house, and I brought the rest of the components inside and started to mount them. This process took about a week or so to finish. It's a clean 780, though... Want some 8600's? I can get you a few.
