Hi,
Due to a change in circumstances, I need to downsize my collection.
Most of this stuff has been given to me free by other members of this
group. It is first come first served, but if you gave it to me and want it
back, obviously you have first shot.
It is located in Piccadilly in London, and for the bigger stuff will need
to be picked up before 11am any day inc. weekends. I also need to move it
within 3 weeks.
I have a busted hip at the moment so I can't help lift anything and they
are located on the 2nd Floor.
Now thats dealt with here's what I have :
aMicrovax 3400
2x Vax 4000-200 (One has a broken PSU)
Hp zx6000 (No drives)
SGI GDM17e11 CRT
2x DECserver 300
5x DECsystem 3100 (Think they are all dead, have never managed to get them
to go past diagnostics)
5x Gould os 3500 Oscilloscopes - All working but not been calibrated for
years.
Sgi Indy
Massive box of DEC Cables, mostly DSSI
Intel MDS - Non working, powers up but nothing happens
2x Alphaserver ES45 - These are HEAVY
Let me know if you want it..

I have to say that I fancy the Zx6000 and a few other bits, but I am not

As I recall, Rob lives near Manchester or other urban center in the North.
Tube's not in it.

You just have to get it to St. Pancras and on the train - how hard can it
be? :-)

Well actually for (Greater) Manchester where I and Bob live the appropriate station is
Euston.
And having once lugged and small IBM Model -011 manual card punch home from the top of
Totenham Court Road in a wheeled suitcase I won't be trying to get a VAX on the
train.
If Bob fancies a trip I don't mind driving but my availability is limited, and my free
space is approaching zero....

Really not sure, it isn't so much the driving (although going into central London is
not appealing), but more that it would mean an entire day away from home (again!), and
space is a problem for me too. Although I am always prepared to temporarily hold on to
stuff until I can find it a new home. Still wouldn't mind a few of these items (like
the ZX6000, and several other items too), but on this occasion I may have to pass.
Dan, if it comes to the worst, would you be able to post some of the smaller stuff? I am
thinking boards/disks from the VAXen, MMJ stuff if there is any (after Gregg Levine,
because he asked first).
Regards
Rob
