I'm in NZ and I'm down for at least a couple
of the large systems - 750 &
785. Possibly 8600 730 & a pedestal machine. Traveling just now, can I get
back to you in a week or so?

Subject: In search of VAX 8550 or similar...
Would like to purchase and restore a big mid-80s VAX. Stupidly passed one
up
recently.
Let me know if you have one you'd be willing to part with- also open to
trades.
In the Seattle area, but a little too comfortable with arranging freight
shipping...
