S.F. Bay Area -- PDP-11 HW available -- Disks and Tape for 11/44

I was up at Mike Quinn's on Saturday, and inquired about classic computers. After mentioning the PDP-11 by name, the guy there (Maurice) pointed me to an 11/44 he had in the back. The racks were already spoken for, and the contents had been pulled out and were sitting face-down on the floor. There was an 11/44 CPU, two RA-81 disk drives, and a 9-track tape drive, a TU-80 or TU-81, I believe. He was willing to let it go pretty cheap, $100 for the CPU and RA-81s, or $50 for the CPU. He thought the motors in the tape drive would sell for $25 each, so he wanted at least $50 for that. Seeing the lack of respect this poor old machine was getting (dumped on the floor to salvage the rack), and having some space in my trunk, I snapped up the CPU without much further thought. I figure a collector should have a shot at those drives before Quinn's sells them to a scrapper or someone who wants to strip them for parts. I don't have the space for them, nor enough interest in the later 11's to justify renting any more on their account. I could possibly be talked out of the CPU. I'd certainly take a smaller Q-bus '11 in trade. Heck, a convincing promise of a good home with some happy peripherals to talk to and reimbursement of the $50 I spent would probably do. :) --Bill
