I'm set up to go onsite this afternoon, and I've got new SD cards and two
batteries for the camera. Once I've figured out a good place to post them,
I'll pass the link along. I think this is more of a corporate/enterprise
collection so I'm not expecting SGI - but he's got a lot of stuff.
You never know what you'll find on this kind of run..Should be fun!

In case it helps any mainframe collectors, I just checked, and ramen noodle soup costs
around $0.41 per meal on Amazon Prime. I'm still working on the problem creating more
cubic feet^H^H^H^Hyards of available volume in a small house, though.

It can be tough to ship CRTs (step 1, don't put them in a tiny box...)
I don't get out to Seattle, but if you drive out to a VCFmw or VCFe

I just shipped two 13" green screen monitors in their
original shipping cartons to two guys on this list. These
were new replacements we picked up at a surplus place 30
years ago and never used. I think they will come through
fine, but will know in a couple of days. I shipped them

And terminals in the VT100 family are probably the most difficult to
ship (closely followed by the VT50 family).

Most definitely. Having dealt with a *lot* of terminals, and had many
of them shipped to me - I have had at least two VT100's broken in
shipping. The problem is that there isn't much holding that upper
housing on, and it gets pretty brittle with age. Even a well packed
one has a good chance of being broken in transit. Other terminals that
are difficult to ship include the Zenith Z19 - the picture tube tends
to break the posts that hold it in - that plastic has gotten kind of
brittle.
The VT50 series, while big and bulky, is fairly sturdy and shippable,
but the sheer size is a real problem.
I don't even want to think about shipping a VT05. That thing is heavy,
deep, and fragile.

That still sounds great! I'd also love a DEC terminal of some kind... I got
rid of a VT-100 years ago and regret it. Some of the AT&T machines were
interesting too!

I think I have more than enough HP terminals to last me, I think the only terminals

That is very true. I could use one of those large black plastic pieces that
hold the monitor open. Mine broke'ted.
HP 264X terminals on the other hand, do ship well because they are most
definitely built like a tank. That being said, I did have one shipped to me
a few years back (posted pictures to the list) that a shipper managed to
completely destroy. They put it in a box that was twice the size of the
terminal in all directions, and put absolutely nothing else in the box
besides filling about 1/2 the box with foam peanuts. One could not imagine a
264X could look like it was put in a blender, but this one literally poured
out of the box. *sigh*

It's amazing how much stuff UPS had managed to destroy "for" me, also.
It's like them drop the boxes off a crane or something.
I wish one of these shippers would develop a glass-coke-bottle style
business model. You ask for a secure container and they can either be
delivered for $$$ or you can pick them up. The containers should be made
from real materials (wood or something strong with nice
foam suspension or
padding with FRAGILE printed all over them). When a buyer
decides they
want this service, they pay a small deposit fee which is refunded when
they put the empty container out by the street for the shipper to pick up
the next day. Then they refund your deposit.
I'd definitely pay extra for that for many delicate items. Maybe someone
already does that sort of thing but it's just not the kind of thing I've
ever heard of from OOOPS, Federal Compress, or USPS.
Sure you can pay extra to insure your items, but what if they were super
hard to get?

A crate will protect better against being squished by other cargo, but it's still up
to the shipper to know how to secure the item inside well enough to withstand shock. A
fully assembled heavy thing inside a fragile plastic case may not make it intact no matter
how good the padding is.

I always thought that they 'preconditioned' the packages by running them over with
a forklift before shipping, so that they could be packed more closely together.

http://vt100.net/docs/tp83/chapter16.html
We had an LP25 on our DMF32. ISTR it's a Dataproducts B300 or
something close to that. It was a bit fiddly when it got old (I was
the one that got to fix it when it broke), but we ran multiple boxes
of paper through it per day. It was _the_ printer on a VAX-11/750
with 75 to 10 users (decreasing over time)... developers code
listings, non-letter-quality documentation (serial LA210 for the "good
stuff", used sparingly), diagnostic sheets in every product box,
e-mails, calendars, customer lists... ASCII art. ;-)
I think there's a simple circuit (a few TTL inverters and a pin
swabbing cable) to use an LA-180 (i.e., _non_ Dataproducts printer) on
the DC37 on a DMF-32. The basic lines are all the same but a couple
of them need their sense inverted. An LA-180 is much lighter
(van-sized and small pallet) as long as you don't need massive
volumes. One could also rig up a Personal Computer-grade dot matrix
printer with a Centronics interface similarly, if the goal is just to
have some form of hardcopy, not specifically to "enjoy" the
band/chain-printer experience. It is fun, though, watching and
listening to a band printer fire up and zip through greenbar paper.

I don't need printers (I have *lots*, but the old LP25 did not make
the cut when I was clearing out my office in 1993...), but I was
making the suggestion to Mark that there are many options he could
explore if he's willing to make a converter box and not just run a

printer is just a passive cable away from working, but line printers

Yes, that enjoyment is what I'm going for. And also, that plug on the back of my
11/730 is marked "LP32", so I need to fill the hole with the right thing if
I'm to be able to sleep at night. :)
Now, I'd also love a great big drum printer, with a suitable computer hooked up to it.
In my freshman year of college, I recall being shown a large PDP-8 system with a massive
drum printer and a hard drive the size of two washer/dryer units, sitting right next to
the Hypercube in the same small room. It was suggested that the system was very long in
the tooth and might just be available, and I wish I could go back in time to pursue
getting it...

We should arrange for a container to go yearly between the states and EU..
alternatively when it is full.

Let's have it travel by truck and/or rail across the continents at each end, bouncing
between the US west coast and easternish Europe, making many stops along the way!
Can the military radio folks share the container? Much of the military radio gear is big,
too.

Seth - I specifically asked about 3B2 boxes when I saw the AT&T terminals.
Unfortunately, the guy has already cleared them out of his warehouse.

Seth, cont. ... and be careful what you wish for. I think that he may

Any more details on those AT&T terminals?
I could use an AT&T 605 terminal for the 3b2 I hope to someday acquire,
obviously after Seth gets all he needs. :)

Thanks,

Does he really have a palette of AT&T terminals? I'm local in Atlanta
