Oh wow, I thought my DG
"E.T. head" terminal had the worst case of that I'd
ever seen... this one gives it a run for the money!
7900? disk drive
Yup, it's a 7900A
that's externally in good condition. These drives are
becoming somewhat rare.

Looks like a good set of pods with it!
7980 tape drive
I recognize the particular green
tag on top. It means "sent in to repair
depot" (a repair depot in the military, not to HP). It may mean the device
was awaiting repair and was never repaired. It may mean the device was
repaired and never returned.

I'd have to go see if I still have any from the last shipment of eleven 2108
cpus that came through my workshop. As I recall, it was basically a
statement of where from, and what the problem was. So, the answer is "no".

This is one of those lots that screams out "local inspection" because
the lot includes multiple units of each and you can bet they're not
all in the same condition. For instance 4 2645As -- do they all have
screens that are delaminating their safety shield? Sometimes you
think the guys at govliq are taking pictures of the worst individual
in each lot, or maybe they just don't care to take pictures of all the
units in a bundle. Ditto for the HP-85, there are 4 of those in this
lot.

Yet non-delaminating units seem to regularly show up on ebay in the
past couple of years. That's why I say physical inspection of these
govliquidation lots is a good bet unless you're willing to lowball it
and just take a chance. But then you'd have to arrange shipping...

I used 'em in 1978. I've watched for them on ebay, etc. I've
purchased a few in the past couple years. That's the extent of my
familiarity.
