I managed to get a hold of a couple more of the
UYK-20 computers. Several
people on this list have asked for one, unfortunately I have more requests
than computers. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to decide who gets
one and who doesn't? Or any suggestions about shipping? These are roughly
24" cube and weigh about 160 pounds. I MAY be able to use a friends
warehouse and strap them down to a pallet and wrap them with stretch wrap.
I don't have time/material/tools to make crates for them but from the looks
of them, they look like they'll survive anything. They're located near
Orlando Florida.

I think the fairest method is random chance, write names on pieces of paper
and pick as many as you have CPUs
Of course some people may bail when they find out the shipping costs...
