Regarding the thread started by Peter Wallace of Mesa Electronics the
other month - I've been by for one load, and there are still tons of DEC
and HP, and a few RS6k, workstations/servers. Including a rare DECserver
that has a TurboChannel Expansion box. Lots of HP 712 and 715
workstations, a C110, DECstations (MIPS) and VAXstations (derp).
Please note that the vintage calculators shown are spoken for. Sorry.
Mesa has to vacate these offices by the end of the month. They're super
nice people, just trying to avoid anything involving a scrapper. Please
dig up that thread and have another look (sorry, traveling).

Again, location is Richmond, East SF Bay, California, USA, Earth, Sol
System, Perseus Arm, etc etc. Convenient to highways and spaceports alike!
Best,
--Steve.

Sorry, forgot - Alphas! Two DEC 3000 model 400, one DEC 3000 model 600,
one DEC 3000 model 600S, and an AlphaServer 600 IIRC.
VAXserver 3300
VAX 4000 model 300
DECtalk DTC01
numerous DEC BA42
DEC "leprechaun" boxes (think VAXstation 2000)
Mac 7200/90
5-10 color CRTs - VRT19, VR299, VR290
Couple smaller HP-badged Trinitrons
TEK 454
Summasketch 2 w/ cursor
Many cables, disks, other random bits!

Gah! This is what I get for ignoring this list for a couple days.
I'd love to grab those DEC 3000's for spares. I'm in Seattle and a trip
to Cali isn't in the cards right now. :(

I'm surprised to see a swedish keyboard there :)
What is a PCM-12 ?
And I think that Datability VCP-1000 can do LAT to TCP/IP translation.

I think (the Viking kb) is a console for something like a computer
controll system for a theater's lighting rig.
At least that firm still makes that type of eq.

A few more things
HP 1650A logic analyser
A couple Nova core memory boards
lots of random connectors/cables/SMT parts etc
The Dectalk is still here, for people that expressed an interest, I really
have no time to ship it as we are moving at the same time trying to keep
production/testing/shipping going so its pretty hectic, so if someone local
could pick it up that would be great

To whomever wants that DECTalk, I live in San Francisco and could pick it
up and ship it for you!

Wow, lots of interest in my proximity to the loot! I've contacted Peter
directly as he's been the point of contact on all this and I'll let him
point me to whomever he had selected the DECTalk to go to.
I drive a coupe so I only have so much space but once I get there I'll help
as much as I'm able to as many as I'm able!

Alright I have my bearings, God help me. I'll make a trip *today* at 1pm
PST, so 1.5 hours from now. I should be there for 1.5 hours or so.
Please send me your prioritized wish lists ASAP - I can't guarantee
anything but I'll do my best.
The Rules!:
- DECTalk priority goes to the person who responded to my offer first.
After I get shipping estimates (FedEx services only, please) should he/she
decline I'll offer it to the next person to respond.
- I drive a coupe so I can only fit so much - a 75lb chassis is unlikely
to fit and I'm unlikely to be able to carry it!
- I'll take the loot to my local FedEx office for packing *tomorrow*. If
there are any specifics I'll instruct them to pack accordingly.
- After I return with the list of items I hauled, please try to estimate
the shipping costs so there aren't any surprises. I think the FedEx packing
service will add ~$25 or so for medium-sized items.

If FedEx is the only option then I think that may have to rule me out, shipping
to the UK would be prohibitive. I had found a good rate with Parcel Monkey, if
that is an option then I am still keen.
Thanks for your help!

I have news,
On my way over, my engine bay turned into a hot tub party of steam courtesy
of coolant leaking all over the block. The shop was on the way so it's
being repaired? now but I wasn't able to get to Mesa. =[ I might try
tomorrow...
How obnoxious, I hate to get people's hopes up and not deliver.

Hi
Lots of small goodies and lots of heavy "junk". You might want to grab
the "small digital keyboard" that you found in the last video. It's an
LK421 or LK521. Might make a DEC-collector happy some day.
If you wouldn't mind shipping it to sweden, I think it would be worth
the cost.
Thank you,
Pontus.

I would love an LK421, although I guess it is taken now. Although
shipping to the UK would be horrific using FedEx.

Aaron/Anders,
Aaron lives relatively close to me, my parents live in the same city. So if
there is anything that Aaron wants that is still available then perhaps we
could combine it into one package and share a bit of the shipping cost. I
could get it to Aaron later.
Regards
Rob

Good idea, Rob. Thanks!
I would be interested in one or two of the Ultrix tapes if they are
MIPS/DECstation.

Hi again,
What a workout! I've followed up already with those who requested their
respective items with me in order. If anyone passes on shipment I'll give
the next in line a chance.
Turns out Peter had a bunch of those Motorola brick flip-phones too so I'm
harvesting the displays for my DIY wristwatch obsession. A good day indeed!

It appears to be a PDP-8 clone based on the Intersil 6100. I just now

Heavens, why are the bit positions in descending order right to left in

Regarding the thread started by Peter Wallace of Mesa Electronics the other
month - I've been by for one load, and there are still tons of DEC and HP, and a
few RS6k, workstations/servers. Including a rare DECserver that has a
TurboChannel Expansion box. Lots of HP 712 and 715 workstations, a C110,
DECstations (MIPS) and VAXstations (derp).
Please note that the vintage calculators shown are spoken for. Sorry.
Mesa has to vacate these offices by the end of the month. They're super nice
people, just trying to avoid anything involving a scrapper. Please dig up that
thread and have another look (sorry, traveling).
Link to some photos I took:

Again, location is Richmond, East SF Bay, California, USA, Earth, Sol System,
Perseus Arm, etc etc. Convenient to highways and spaceports alike!
I am hoping to get one of the MIPS shipped to the UK, unfortunately all the 5000/260s had
gone, but he still has some 240s, so I hope to get one of those.

Too bad I'm on the wrong coast. I would love and RS68K or two. :-(
Even a Decstation!!
