In case anyone's wondering what everything is in the pictures Mr. Willing
took at Paxton's auction, I've identified as many things as I can so that
if anyone ever spots one of these in their travels and wonders if its
worth their while to pick up, they'll at least have an idea what they're
looking at.

Damn it!  Damn it all to hell!  That's the HP 9000/520 Unix workstation
I've been lusting for!!  Frank McConnell has the only one I've ever seen. 
Well then, you're gonna hate me!  It followed me home!  (or at least, will
as soon as I get back to pick it up!)

Tektronix 4001 (or 4002?) storage scope. 
Well...  I thot it was a 4002 as well...  It is a 4006-1.  It followed me
home too!

Is this the HP1000F?  I thought you said it was an empty chassis. 
No, I said I got the CPUs only (as opposed to a complete system).  P044.JPG
is the rear of the unit, P045.JPG is the front.  B^}
