PLEASE! save this from the scrapper!
The Computer History Mueseum has one of these and one of the stops I made last
month was to one of the last field service guys who maintained those systems
and picked up all of the documentation, field diags, and a complete set of
cards that he still had left. I'm hoping Mike (corestore) will be interested
but it is a BIG system, as you can tell from the pics.

There is a B1955 mainframe system on Ebay right now, with just about a day
left:

Perhaps I could bid for the system, but any other person must get it. I live
in Spain. If someone authorized by me can go (in my name) and later refunds
me the money I have no problem to try it.

I have decided to try. I have now talked with the owner of the system, and
he is quite nice and reasonable. So if anyone else plans on bidding:
PLEASE LET ME KNOW. NOW.
By the way, he really does mean 50 some terminals and 20 some printers! We
guesstimate at 7 skids of stuff.

If you need any help on this I can do something William. I priced transport
and have what looks like a very good rate. Contact me off-list if you get a
chance.

Perhaps we can make this a group project. I'd be willing to contribute a
modest amount....

think we will save the freight for something a bit older....
since William has not answered we can assume he is haunching over the
terminal waiting for it to close!

Another idea one of the advisory board folk came up when I just mentioned
this to them was if someone had a truck heading this way we would certainly
provide space for it.
