The Pallet in the upper left of the second picture is
the HP 7820? Which I
think is actually a 7920 50 Meg removable pack disk drive. My 1981 HP
catalog lists them at $14,000 to 18,000 new.

The HP disk drive should be saved. There are very few
left because they are
such good clean aluminum and gold scrap. Those older HP drives are $$$ in a
scrappers eyes and they would not even think of offering it to a collector.
Few survive. Some even came with a HP-IB interface.
Apparently Norfolk has at least three 7920s, exclusive of this lot. See
