I'm not in San Diego, but I got Andy's permission to forward this to the
list in case anybody IS there (or willing to go there) and rescue these
machines...

Where are you? I have PDP 11/84's in San Diego waiting to be either
scrapped or sold for parts. You'll have to come get them.

Andy,
I am most interested in picking up one or more of these 11/84s if still available.
I will be in the Los Angeles area for 2 weeks over the holidays and can pick up
anytime after Thursday the 23rd. Hopefully some are still available.
As I recall these came in a rackmount, a tabletop, and floorstanding enclosure
versions. Let me know which type is/are available so I can bring appropriate
transportation. Thanks.
Regards,
Nick Oliviero

What's the deal with the LSI-11 console on 11/780's? It seems like the
LSI-11 is the first thing to be ripped out for surplus. Is there a 4040
in it or someting?
Also is there anyone actively restoring these beasts?

It's just a vanilla LSI-11 and thats a manageable size system for most,
the 780 is a bit daunting for many.

No, it is pretty pedestrian as LSI-11's go...

Well... I've got one in my collection which I fully intend to light up one
day... After I put in some heavy-duty power wiring for it that is! B^}
Wonder just how much current that critter REALLY draws?

I've been looking for one (or two) 780s in Colorado for a while now,
but haven't found one. (Though a 785 sold from rocky flats for $40
recently...)
If anyone runs across one in working condition I'd love to rescue it :)

I know nothing about this specific situation, but a good rule of thumb is
to bring as big of a truck as you can and hope for the best.
