The VCF museum took delivery of a VAX 9440 today.
It arrived in two 28-foot trailers. Here's our forklift driver
beginning to unload the first truck:

The full system is 30-40 feet long when it's all set up! It is in
pristine condition and was in service at a defense contractor until
a couple of months ago.
Rumor has it that we arranged for another one to land in Dave
McGuire's Large Scale Systems Museum collection, and a third to be
with Bob Roswell's System Source collection. :) Perhaps they'll
post updates too!
