Update:
I'm going over Monday morning and examining all of the systems and I
will attempt to make a list and post it.

I have to sign a donation letter otherwise the systems are mine.

 Subject: DEC VAX 785 and PDP11/70's in Kansas City

...
 I just got word from a friend that a company in Kansas
City is planning to >dispose of the following.
...

DEC VAX 785 in three 6' cabinets
DEC PDP 11/70 in ten 6' cabinets, this may be two computers
4 RM03 disk drives
2 TU80 tape drives
Other disks for VAX
That is what they remembered without actually having a list.

I'm trying to set up a time to actually see them.

Here is the other information I have received.

There is a company from Topeka that will take them away if they are paid to
>remove them.
...

The 785 was running 3 months ago when they erased all of the media.
It has been about a year since the 11/70's were on.

They are not currently running.

They are checking on the legal requirements that they may have to go through >to
dispose of these units.
...
 They are worried about making sure they aren't
legally libel if somebody >dumps them improperly.
...

Whoever takes them away may have to be a GE approved vender.

I'll keep everybody informed.

Thanks
Mike
