What if the machines are to be scrapped in a hurry,
and no one can take
the whole thing? I would think that gutting the things is the best
option. A few parts are better than nothing...
I have done this - specifically with a VAX-11/750 and 4D/380. These were
advertised on this list in the very early days, but I was apparently the
only one that could even get close to the machines. Needless to say, I
couldn't take the machines as a whole, so the cards were pulled.
If that's the only choice- landfill or reduction to parts- sure,
reduce it to parts.
Sometimes, there's middle ground...
