Much of the trove had already gone to scrap before this group got wind of it. And for a lot of it that was probably the right thing though it pains me to say that. The house cleaners had been there before I contacted the owner immediately after the message appeared on the list. The S/32 all went to scrap as it had been a possum home for a number of years, the 11/60 cabinets were scrapped a few days prior to the list contact and the 11/34 had also been severely damaged by animals while being stored in a garage for approximately 10 years. The 11/60 processor was stored in better conditions and consists of two BA11 style boxes. There was a well preserved Flexowriter recovered in pieces, but likely complete, and a bunch of ADM3a terminals. I also brought home a very, very rough TU 55. Unfortunately another, possibly a TU 56, had been scrapped a few days earlier as well. The owner, Greg, was one of the nicer people I have met over the years. He lives near the MSU surplus sale site and was a good customer there. We need a better way to be recognized as a place to post situations like this earlier in people's decision process on how to clear out a house. BTW, I should also report on the recovery of the Triad system early in January. Will Donzelli and I came back from that location with the Triad rack, a re-badged Interdata system (8-32) and a lot of interesting terminals as well as a few CDC 9726H cartridge drives. We may have a system for this, but have not had time to investigate. Regards, Dan
