Lets have another go (but this time I have some pictures)
Decstation 5000/125 ? also houses a CD drive.
Two expansion storage boxes ? one has a tape drive and the other one has
a floppy drive.
Two very large and heavy RGB Digital monitors ? one has both Digital and
Sony branding on the back of it. I haven?t dug the other one out as its
in a corner and is dam heavy but it looks the same as the other one.
Box of spares (RAM, CPU's, HDDs etc.)
I?ve never powered it up ? it was a rescue ? I believe it was a server
in a TAFE college in Adelaide. This is all I got from the rescue bar the
box of spares. The original owner had tossed all the documentation and
software.
Please note that the stand is not included in my offer and its located
in south western Victoria (Australia).

I think that's the screen I'd really love to have for my vt240 but alas I'm
too many continents away! Also not sure it'd plug in directly. Could you
please tell me the model number and what the connectors look like?

I think the VT240 is a base unit plus a VR201 monitor (same monitor that
is used by the DEC Rainbow and a few other DEC "PC" systems of that era).
The VT241 is the same base unit (with a different bezel) with a VR241
monitor.
I don't know what monitor is in that picture but I don't think that the
VR241 was ever used on the DECstation 5000 series.

Remember me telling you about the static shock trick you could pull on people? :)

Ah, I used to have one of those on my desk in REO2 at one point. I still
have the very VAXstation 3100M76 that it was attached to, but luckily I
didn't hang on to the monitor itself!
You'll have to forgive me not remembering it: something that small was
never going to standout in your collection, was it :-)
