Down in Macon, GA my dad has a DEC that we would like
to send to a good
home. He purchased this several years ago from a man in north
Georgia who said it spend the 1990s answering the phone at a utility
company. My dad kept it in his classroom while he was a high school
technology teacher, but now that he's no longer teaching it's gathering
dust on his carport.
There's a VAXstation 3, DECvoice unit, two hard drives, and a tape drive
in an enclosure on wheels. There's also a VT420 terminal. You'd need a
truck, ramp, and at least two strong people to load and unload this.
You can see some pictures of the equipment at

Please pass this on to anyone you think might be interested!
I should mention that I don't know much about the hardware myself, so if
anyone can look at the pictures and clue me in I'd appreciate it!
Although I don't have experience with freight shipping, I'm willing to
try it it someone is interested in the system but cannot pick it up.
You'd need to cover the cost. If I can't find a taker soon I fear this
system will end up in the scrap heap, as my dad wants it gone and I
don't have the space for it.
