I would be interested in something at the small end of the scale... ... where in the UK are you -----Original Message----- From: Tobias Russell Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 3:21 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Reducing my DEC collection (UK) Hi, I've decided I'd like to reduce down my collection of PDP-11 and PDP-8s and so I have the following that I may be prepared to part with. All the machines and parts are located in the UK and at this stage I'm interested in expressions of interest. Please bare in mind that the machines are for pickup from the UK and would probably be impactical to ship. PDP-11/05 - 5.25" form factor PDP-11/10 PDP-11/15 PDP-11/34 PDP-11/34A PDP-11/35 PDP-11/40 PDP-11/44 PDP-11/70 PDP-8/E, 3 rack setup with 2 x RK05s, 2 x magtape PDP-8/L (missing its core memory card) Various qbus machines (PDP-11/03,11/23,11/73) Various TU56 drives PC04 paper tape drive PC05 paper tape drive Lots of RL01/02 drives RK05 drives All the best, Toby

I'd be interested in a couple of RL01/RL02 drives, a PDP system which can run them, and the cables and I/O cards necessary to do this. If you've got a broken RL01 or RL02 (mechanically sound, but broken electronics -- the heads must be good), I'll take that and a working drive, and a couple of disk packs -- I've got a crazy idea which involves building a servo-writer for RL0x packs, and I need some drives to do this :) Thanks, Phil.

Anyone have working RA90 or RA92 disks that they would like to part with? Send me a private response with pricing and availability. I'm in the US. Kevin

Pick up only, but this time the chaps in the USA are at the wrong side of the big splash. I also have a few RA90 and RA70 IIRC, I'd have to check. I might be willing to sell one or two, but shipping from The Netherlands to anywhere will certainly be costly! And My testing will be very limited. I have an SA72 which can hold 4 RA9x drives, but I can not test them beyond power up to the "READY" state (IIRC). AFAICR, you can not simply install the RA70 in the SA72. - Henk.
