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.
Dice.
I MAY be able to use a
friends warehouse and strap them down to a pallet and wrap them with
stretch wrap.
This is probably the only real option. Even with the battleship nature of
these things, if just left as unprotected boxes, the shippers will
certainly find that one weak spot. If you go the pallet route, mix some
scrap cardbord with the shrinkwrap, and maybe some cardboard corners.
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.
Too bad. I have more big wooden crates than the Pope.
They're located near Orlando Florida.
I am still very interested. If others that have asked are located
anywhere near Providence, New York, Chicago, and all points between, I
could possibly act as a distributor. Once the big warehouse project I am
in is completed (maybe 2 weeks), I have a Prime and a Stardent to move,
but then could possibly pick them up or accept delivery and eventually
get them to the new owners (provided they can wait).
