Hi Zane,
Sorry to hear that you are selling off your collection.
I am looking for a couple of items, which if you have, I would be happy
to pay you for. I want to find an Emulex SC72 or SC71 board set, which
is an 11/70 specific massbuss to SMD controller. And I am looking for
any documentation on the 11/55 (printset, manuals, etc.) that I can find.
Where are you located, what is in the portion of your collection which
you want to sell off, and how much do you want. Since it sounds like you
are keeping your DEC gear, and because I mostly collect DEC gear, I am
probably not the guy...

Does anyone here have any advice on how to go about
disposing of a
computer collection? The time is well past for me to get serious about
it. I want to keep a lot of my DEC gear, but even some of the VMS and
PDP-11 related stuff will be going. I don't have time to do anything with
most of the stuff I've got, and it's become an anchor around my neck.
Ideally I'd like to recover some of the money I've got into the
collection, as I've sunk a LOT of money over the past few years into it.
One obvious solution is selling the stuff on eBay, but that would take a
lot more time than I have. Another would be to call a scrapper that I
know, but that doesn't get recover any of the money that I've got into
stuff. Ideally I'd like to find someone that would be interested in
buying the collection off of me.
Zane
