PDP11/34 Being Retired and Scrapped

How about locations? (city, state) thanks. -----Original Message----- From: James L.

This machine has at least two sets of spare boards and even a spare hard drive as well as a complete set of manuals. It has been under a DEC service contract and has been running 24/7 for the last 20 years. After I transfer control of the furnaces to AB PLC's later this month, the DEC has been promised to a scrap yard in the Dallas area. If I can pry it away from the scrapper grasp, would anyone want it. I'm not into mini's so I don't want it, but I hate to see it get recycled for the metal. Also, I know where a HP 3000 can be picked up for probably under a $100. It has a hard drive, at least a med of ram, a 9 track tape drive (requires 3ph 208v), 10-12 HP2392 (as I recall) terminals, all of the cables, boards, expanders, a modem and was running when removed. If anyone is intrested, let me know and I'll pass your email adress to this guy. James
