Hi,
as promised here is my photo series on systematically disassembling
a VAX 6000-420. I do not envy you poor folks who thought simply
taking out the card cages and the cab kit would allow you to somehow
put this back together to a working machine. Has anyone ever actually
done this?
Anyway, here is my VAXian anatomy page:

BTW: I (and a few friends) am still looking for advice on how exactly
to convert the power unit so as to hook a VAX 6420 on 110 V houshold
power. Either 110 V single phase or 240 V 2-phase would do. I have
done electronics in my youth, but I have no clue how to go about it
and don't want to go trial and error :-)
Any help is appreciated.
regards
