Subject: Symbolics XL400/1200

The machine is available in Portland Or or preferably, up the gorge in Goldendale Wa [...] The machine could be shipped, but it would require a pallet for the case, foam for the monitor and separate packing for the drive and boards. I'm not sure how much it's worth. I have had an offer for $370.

Ooh, I wish. But I raelly thnk it would cost too much to get it here, and I'm having trouble imagining where I'd find the space for it (even though I'd be pretty highly motivated to do so for a LispM). Heck, I'd even like just the keybaord; it can't be _that_ difficult to cobble together something that would let me use it with other machines. I don't suppose anyone has such a keyboard available that wouldn't involve separating it from a working machine? /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B

I have had an offer for $370. So I guess thats a start. The system includes the mono hi-res graphics monitor, space cadet keyboard, full document (user) set, but no hardware prints (sorry) and a frame tosser board. I'll throw in a couple bus mice, but they will need to be rewired. I'll fire it up and verify that it still boots. (it did 6 months ago) If you pick it up in goldendale, I'll let you dig around in my shed for other goodies. The machine is badged as a XL400 but boot reports a XL1200. I assume it's the extra memory and possibly software upgrades. It has been stored inside, in a clean dry environment since I picked it up about 7 years ago. Jim Davis.

I saw this on slashdot today, of interest to the classic comp crowd, here is a list of the first 100 dot com companies. I find it interesting that Symbolics was the first: http://tinyurl.com/7rfy3 Randy

Hi Mark, The offer for the machine is currently at $600. We have had a bit of weather, power outages and 2 feet of snow if you haven't seen the news. I'm just now getting back to everyone that showed interest. Thanks, Jim.

I've been out of touch via email for a week, so I just got this. Have you sold the machine yet? Thanks. Mark On Dec 3, 2007, at 6:32 PM, davis wrote:

the 70s micro stuff caught my eye.. That's definitely material I'd be interested in - and more than willing to pay the shipping costs for. If you're looking to clear it out, have you considered doing some sort of inventory and posting it (at some point where you're not at risk from the weather of course). s shumaker davis wrote:

Hi Mark, Josh Dursh in seattle offered 850$ and that was enough to keep me and my family warm this winter. I have a lot ot TEK gear that I would like to get rid of, Unfortunately it;s been stored in a unheated enclosure for nearly 20 years. So some of the components may need to be replaced. What kind of stuff are you looking for. I might have something in the piles of stuff. Mostly color graphics terminal stuff and tek graphics workstations. What I don't have: sun, dec, dg What I have, TEK, motorola, and a bunch of 70's micro stuff. Jim.
