Because of my "computer rescue" web page, I got a call from
a fellow selling this VAX 4400/4300 cluster:

It sounds like it was running very recently until they carefully
dismantled it for this decommissioning. They pulled the boards
and put them in static bags, for instance.
He seemed sincere about hoping it could find a good home, but
he's also entertained offers from DEC resellers and scrappers.
Contact me privately for more gossip about the ballpark.
Time is of the essence; it sounds like he moved it into his
residential garage and his wife would like it to disappear ASAP,
so we're looking at days and not weeks before it needs to go.
