Oh great Gurus of Obscure Facts:
Does anyone happen to have at their fingertips any FCC ID information about the
Xerox 8000 or 1108 series hardware and the monitors that go with it? I am about
to ship a couple of these babies to Tony Eros (member of this list) and I may
need this info to get the customs people to let them through.
Many thanks in advance,
Bob.

When were those built? If it was before the early 1980s, there wasn't
any such thing as an FCC ID. If one was assigned it should be on one
of the stickers on the box, near the model and serial numbers.
If it's newer than that, you might be able to extract it from an FCC
database that supposedly exists on-line with this stuff in it, but I
know no details about that.
Why would customs care?

These machines are 1981ish.

Because they're customs :)
Probably to verify the date of manufacture to prove the contention that
these are old, obsolete computer items that nobody would pay good money
for (and it's true!)

That predates the FCC regulations about emissions, which is what the
FCC ID stickers is all about. So they should be grandfathered.
