Wang 2200 LVPC-E available

A gentleman in Baltimore sent me this email: <start of email> I happen to have a Wang 2200 and have been wondering about it. I used to have a one man computer hardware design consulting company with an office in a medical/professional office building. One day a doctor in a nearby office had the maintenance man wheel in this Wang 2200 into my office. No manuals, no floppies, no terminals. As far as I know it was in working condition when it was retired circa 1996. It in a storage area since then and I have decided it needs a good home. <end of email> A subsequent email showed it to be a Wang 2200 LVPC-E, made in 1983. The machine has a single 8" floppy, but the internal hard disk has been removed. The VP series machines had a writable microcode store, so to execute BASIC, it had to come off of a disk. So as it stands, it will not boot. I asked him about his asking price and he said: <start of email> This unit is very heavy, so I worry about delivery. My ideal scenario is someone would drive up and grab it from me. From what you said it would cost more to ship (have to be by truck) than its worth. <end of email> If you are interested in the machine and can pick it up, please send me an email at frustum(a)pacbell.net and I'll send you pictures and I'll give you his email address. I'm not posting his email directly so his address doesn't get spam harvested.
