Hi,
Can someone recommend me a freighter who can pickup a cabinet
and do all the necessary work including putting in on a pallet,
wrapping it in plastic etc and ship it?
Location is Westmont (IL) and is destined for The Netherlands.
URL's are of course welcome!
Please reply off-list.
Thanks,
Ed

So, now that I see others might be interested in this stuff.
Does anyone know how big (dimensions, weight) an IBM 3420, and a 3083
are?

Pat
the 3803 has a huge block of iron and copper in the bottom, and the
cabinet probably
comes close to 900#. I would think the 3420's are in the 400# to 600#
range. Norm
Alecs has mine, maybe he could weigh them :-).

Ah. Not that big. A single IBM rack.

See if you can find a catalog or other product documentation that
might give specifications of size and weight. That's what I did to
estimate the weight on some Tektronix gear I bought and it was
worthwhile in having that to get an accurate estimate.

Guessing at the size, I would say about 36 by 32 by 60 inches. The tape
unit and controller are the same size. The 3803 is roughly 650 pounds (280
kg), and the 3420 is just a tad lighter.

A 3420 isn't big at all. Less than a full IBM-rack.
A 3083, on the other hand can get quite large in certain configurations.
I believe the minimum configuration is four frames, and the maximum is
rooms and rooms full of racks.
