The remains ( mostly just the PCB's ) from an early Fairchild Sentry test system were
junked today.
The PCB's are brimming with early ( 1974 datacodes ) Fairchild TTL ic's. ( (9xxx
and 93xx )
Also ECL of course, but I don't do that !
Any worth looking for, in particular w.r.t. to keeping old PDP's running ?

Put them back together to make the Sentrys 24 bit CPU?
Probably rarer than most PDPs...

Dunno about that, but do you have any documentation on the CPU
itself? I've been looking for some time now...

Very few TTL chips are actually rare, so the boards are probably more
important whole than as parts. MECL III parts (MC16xx) are getting a
little scarce, however. MECL I and II are getting very scarce, but by
1974 they were obsolete and out of fashion.
There is a very small community of test equipment collectors out there
that might want these.

9400 series Fairchild TTL Macrologic chips are fairly uncommon, but I
don't know if this design used them.

Any Signetics 8000-series stuff, like 8263s or 8267s? =)
