I'd love to have another

Peace... Sridhar
For every dog, there is a flea...
I'll send the scrap truck over to your huge warehouse next time;)
I've already turned down 2 complete 11/70s due to size-
you'll find most 11/70 configs too physically large for
most home or basement collections (3 racks?). They're also
hungry on the power side, so I don't run my Datasystem 570-
a repackaged 11/70 in a vax780-like "wide bay" - even if it
lives in a warehouse...
At least two commercial DEC restorers I know basically scrap
the 70's (since "no one wants them" - which I read "no one wants
to pay for them" ) or are forced to remove them along with more
interesting stuff as part of the deal (and scrap them later;)
Should someone start an 11/70 orphanage for all those
unwanted machines?
Cheers,
Heinz
