I am going to bid on the 705,as I have a spare expansion pack for it.
It will also sit nicely next to the 500.
I am dubious about the description as well, although it says it has
been upgraded the model number given is a 300. I will annoyed if turns
out to be correct. He says it's not been opened but he has a pciture
of it open at the bottom. It only has one disk in it. anyway.
Anyone know how well a 500 and a 705 would cluster, or would it slow
down the 705.

This looks like a VAX 6000-610 in Wales (UK).
No bids so far. There's a VAX 4000 of some sort
available too.
Noted. Possible that the museum *may* be interested in it - we'll need a
proper 3 phase supply for a few things at some point anyway, so that's
not much of a big deal. I'm actually surprised it needs 3 phase
actually; most things that sort of size don't.
We need to head out to that corner of the country with a van at some
point anyway...
We don't have any big Vaxen a present, although there's an 11-750 in
Somerset to be picked up which'd certainly hurt if dropped on yer
foot :)
Bit wary of the "I don't have the keys so it's not been opened but came
out of a working site" thing. Quite possible it's been stripped of
disks, memory etc. by persons unknown. The fact that the DLT drive is
intact is promising though.
