The bulk of the parts by count may be the 90-06xxx'es,
there could be 10,000 of them, and, they're screws
and washers.
That's what I was afraid of. An outer shell of boards and front panels to
interest us, and an inner core of nuts and bolts to rip us off.
I have to retract my pledge ($100 down, up to 15% later). I've just found
out about a VAX 6000 almost in my own backyard, and I'm going to try very
hard to get that. I have a 220V outlet in my living room for *some*
reason[0]. It must be destiny!
Finally there is some big iron that I don't have to drive 1024 hours to get
to.
[0] I suspect it was once used for a window air conditioner.
