Bill,
Hello, I emailed you previously about a rescue for a Sun 3/470 w/ Mass
Storage. There is a Vax 11/780 in need of rescue in Richardson,Tx 75081.
Very large but could be a "vaxbar project for someone", I saw on ebay where
some boards from a 11/785 went for $100.00 we would like to recover some of
our costs for picking it up,if possible. I also still have the 3/470 with
mass storage unit still available. If you know anyone interested in these
units please have them email me for contact information.
Sincerely,
Roger Garcia

Ah, if I only had the room and the power outlet.

As far as power goes for the 11/780, it looks like it may be possible to
feed one with standard 115V, with three separate feeds.
I'm very close to starting mine up as soon as I complete a conversion box.
I'm going to power each phase from a separate 115V branch for tests, and
then later have an electrician run dedicated feeds to the office. I had 2/3
of mine running a couple of weeks ago on a single branch for about 20
seconds before the breaker tripped. It was just a test.... : )
Anyway.... it looks possible to run one from 115.....

Yes it is, with one exception that I think you've found, from your
description. There is a 3-phase transformer and power supply that runs
the power distribution box relays and such. But the actual meat of the
thing is run off 115 (all phase-to-neutral when run on 120/208 Y). I was
planning to run mine from split-phase residential 240v, with maybe 4
supplies on one side, 2 on the other, and the Unibus expansion cabinet and
some drives on the side with 2.
Good luck in getting it running.

An electron microscope, or sad to say all the bits for one, just showed up
at the UC Irvine (calif) salvage yard. What a mess.

If only I hadn't already ran out of money and space! Dallas -- so close
(<3 hours), but so far away ($$$). Is there any chance that this system
will still be available a year from now?
