FYI: The seller had everything (and more) listed before but most of it did
not sell. I contacted him to see if he would be willing to ship some smaller
items and he told me he would not be relisting because he has a local buyer
who told him he was selling the items for too "cheap". Mind you the items
did not sell at all but whatever....
I guess the local buyer either disappeared or was not the retirement golden
egg the seller was expecting.

He listed the bays as "9309" which is the part
number for the bays.
I sent back that he needed to get the actual panels back up and
photograph them.
I just saw a bunch of DASD, and a storage director. By my recollection
the box with the numbers and DXX number on it is a storage director for
some number of strings of DASD.
The actual mainframe lurking inside is most likely 9370, or 9221 type
systems.
I also alerted him to be very careful to preserve the extra 'pc" systems
as they would be HMC consoles for the system.
Many scrapped Z systems were rendered much harder to get going because
someone would swipe the Thinkpad out of the back that did the same thing
for later boxes.

I think the CPU is gone.
At some point soonb, I am supposed to go down and look at this stuff.
