An eBay seller is selling what appear to be vintage promotional
posters featuring the animal sculptures made out of computer parts
that Honeywell commissioned for a long-running ad campaign.
There are 17 different ones, with multiple copies (but not many) of
each.

New subject: Possible PDP 11/34 on ebay
Here's an auction for a piece of equipment that appears to be controlled
by a PDP 11/34. Also uses some HP terminals.
They are open to offers so someone might contact them to see if they
will part out the unit for the computer.
Item number:

The 11/34 looks separate, and both listings say HP computer. May be
inclusive of only the "5000" box that is shown. They may have
photographed down the row and the 11/34 is part of some other system.

262x series and 264x series, to be somewhat precise. Its not clear if
they are the graphics models from the series or the character model
from the series. The 264x keyboard is on the right and
the 262x
keyboard is on top of the 262x.

I remember being rather fascinated with those when I was about 9 years old. At
the same time I had the contrary sentiment that it was a terrible waste of
components (a pointless sentiment, the components were probably rejects and
floor sweepings).
I could swear there was a yellow rabbit in the series, but I don't see it in
the offerings there.
