While this is mainly for folks in the Bay Area, I'm posting this for informational purposes and if anyone happens to be in the Bay Area to help, I'd appreciate it. As many of you know, a couple of years ago I moved out of my shop and put everything into storage. It dawned on me that what I was paying in storage fees would finance a mortgage (ouch!). After a brutal 6 month search, my wife and I found a property that met all (ok almost all) of our criteria. One of the fundamental criteria (which nixed a number of houses that we liked) was that there be a "shop" on the property. This one does. The main level of the shop is 3 rooms totaling ~1000sq ft. Then there's the upstairs which is another ~400sq ft (with 6' head room) and finally the "basement" which is ~250sq ft (with 5' head room). I'll post a link to pictures once I put them up. Remember, this is the shop. The house is *spectacular* and I'll cover that if folks are interested but I'm not going into detail here since it's off topic. This is our retirement property (yes we're getting to that age unfortunately) and is about 180 miles from our current home. On the plus side, the property is almost 10 acres. I spent this past weekend moving ~150 "totes" from storage up to the new shop. I barely made a dent in my storage units. I need help in moving all of this stuff. Much of it is going up to the new place. However, there is a large quantity of stuff that I've acquired that came along for the ride as I was acquiring other stuff. Some of what will *not* be going (more will follow as I dig out more stuff): - Sun gear. I have a number of IPX's, LX's, SS2's, Ultra5's. I don't know the status of them at this point but many of them (especially the Ultra5's) are in great shape and I expect them to be fully functional. - microVAX. I have fair number of these. From pizza box styles to BA123s. - Q-bus based 11s. I have a number of these, but I didn't run across them this weekend so I can't give a complete inventory - 11/34s. I have 2-3 of these. They're pretty well stuffed. I haven't actually run these and they're still in the rack(s). Here are the rules: - I will *not* ship. I'm under serious time pressure and I have *no* time to pack and ship stuff. - I will *not* look for specific stuff. I'm basically a packing robot at this point. I'm operating on a binary decision: go or not. I'm not looking at stuff in detail, there's no time. - You come and help me move, you get to pick stuff that you want (that I'm not taking). - If you don't want to help move, you will be expected to pay a "nominal" value for the item. - If you come to help, I expect you to work. I don't have time to waste on jaw boning. - If you want stuff, I expect you to come...look, (pay), take and leave. - Tell me your availability. I'm doing this on weekends. I will *not* be doing any of this during the week. My "real" job consumes all of that time. Sorry to be a bit blunt but I'm in a bit of a rush and need to get stuff moved. Ideally, everything will be moved by 6/1. Oh, and for those of you who might ask, anything that's left will be sent to WeirdStuff. If you're interested, please contact me off-list. TTFN - Guy
