Hi,
Anybody reccomend any good DEC resellers?
I have one here, am about to deal with him,
but before doing so did a web search for prices.
I have had good dealings with Newman and Great Lakes (personally
and for my employers). I had some not-so-smooth dealings with
Computer Clearing House a while back (1987), but things were
eventually made to my satisfaction. They might have improved
since than.
I have RF74's in hand.
Some resellers advertise them for $500~$900.
What I also have is an offer from someone to buy my
drives for $125/each.
That's about right... resellers will pay 1/4 to 1/3 of the price
they expect to resell at. Lower if it's not a hot item.
AFAIK the RF74 was the largest non-SCSI drive DEC
ever made, @3.5G.
Yep... I just gave away a box of those not too long ago
(to a list member).
