Someone's listed an entire VAX cluster with an
11/785 on EBay...

ViewItem&item=4128752485&category=1247&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA
%3AIT&rd=1
and the opening bid is only $500. If I could figure out
how to get it
out to CA, I'd bid on it!
Not just a 785 but a VAX 8530, a VAX 8700 too. Two VAX 8250s
to boot (pun possibly intended :-)). Plus much other stuff
including spare parts and distribution tapes.
Surely CA is no problem: I assume you'd have to hire a driver
to go with the 40' truck anyway - how expensive can it be
from Oklahom to California :-)
I like the "Preference to go to a good home -
otherwise theres over $2,000 scrap gold in these machines"
and I'm impressed by the "Can be shown fully working".
Clearly a golden opportunity for someone.
