Located in Gloucester, MA. The monitor probably makes shipping impractical.

I think it is a classic. I'd love to have one if it is in OH...

Dan,
It seems nobody is interested. If so, would you consider shipping it
to OH? When you said it might not be practical, did you mean it was
hard to pack, or the shipping charge was too high? I checked fedex
rate a 30'x25'x25' box with 60LB from Boston to OH only costs $18.66.
(can't not be bigger, otherwise big box rate is applied to make it
$76). I assume two boxes are needed, and the sum will be $40. Adding
the packing material and fedex pick up fee, I assume $60 will cover
it. How do you think? Let me know. Thank you.
I will not compete if somebody close to you wants it. Have fun!
vax, 9000

I'm assuming that was supposed to be private.. but I must say, that's
one huge box! (Or did you mean inches ala " not feet ala '? :)

Your mail name reminded me of a conversation I had today with an ex-Digit
with regard to the Vax 9000 and its reliability record which is less than
good. Apologies if this question has been asked before and is in the
archives, but did you work with VAX9000s back in the day?
My reason for asking is that I believed the VAX9000 would be watercooled
(its codename was Aquarius) but shipped machines were aircooled and I'm
wondering why there was a change in policy?
All ex-digits can reply of course :)
The person I was talking to today explained that their 9000s were removed
and replaced with 7000s....must've been a hell of a drain on Digit
resources......

No. I have never seen a VAX 9000.

I don't know. I learned of what you said from the internet but I don't
know the reason.
