Hi,
I see that gold-snipper has listed a pile of old IBM unit-record and
DASD equipment on eBay. (The category is Vintage Computing Products
=> IBM.)
The prices are not low, but then again it is working stuff, not scrap.
Looks like he's got a 4381 and all the trimmings.

(I'm not him, and I don't collect mainframe equipment, so you probably
now know more about it than I do.)

And a cool ugly yellow 3880, too.
(Yellow actually was a standard IBM color).
That 3704 is pretty cute, as well.

Dang, I don't have the money for this stuff or know anything about it,
but I sure hope it gets rescued, it looks like a fine museum quality
set!

the $1.00 one had no power supply. I believe this guy
isn't lying when he says he has
a working unit.
Details, details...
Actually, I do not recall reading that in the auction description. You are
talking about the one the surfaced in Atlanta, correct?

Nope, this one is in Portland and is described as everything being in
working order -- he even powered everything up and did a final check
on it.

I am talking about the 4381 that sold for a buck about eight months ago. I
am pretty sure it was in Atlanta. Was that the one mmissing the power
unit?

Well I did give a "heads up" to the computer history museum folks in
case they want to snatch it up :-). They certainly have the right
network for putting such a thing in a working state, plus the seller
is in Portland, so transporation isn't *too* crazy.
