Folks, Please see this email from Chris Bailey and reply directly to him if interested. There's some really nice stuff in this collection of largely docs and maintenance spares, but also some VAXstations, cables (mostly serial BC03M/BC22D and thinwire), diagnostic floppies, VAX TU58s, a microfiche reader with quite a few fiches, and entire box of spare LS74 type chips, a bag of what looks like drive belts, rack kits for BA35x shelves, 2 BA23 backplanes, 3 boxes of 115v fans etc. I can go back and hold things for a while for interested parties but I have limited space myself these days :/ Some pix: (all between 300-600kb jpg) http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul01.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul02.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul03.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul04.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul05.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul06.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul07.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul08.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul09.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul10.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul11.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul12.jpg http://f0p.co.uk/DEChaul13.jpg There's a cutoff date of 21st April since Chris doesn't live where the kit currently is, also there's more VAX docs and probably other spares up in the loft of the house that haven't been discovered yet. Note I've already picked up the Pro350s (well, 2 Pro350s and one VAX Console) because I don't have one and I know someone else who is looking for one. Cheers, and please help save this collection! -- Adrian/Witchy Binary Dinosaurs creator/curator Www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk - the UK's biggest private home computer collection?

Hi, Im emailing you to see if you are interested in a load of vintage Digital Equipment Corporation computers etc. My dad has now passed away, but he was a DEC engineer for 20+years. He amassesd a whole load of DEC computers bits when he retired. We are now clearing out the garage but are not sure what to do with all this computer stuff, and just thought we'd see if anyone wants any of it before throwing it out. Here is a brief list of whats in the garage. TZ85 BA350 MA (X3) VAXSTATION 3100 (X2) VS42A-SN (X2) DEC PRO 350 (X3) LN08-A3-SN (LAZER PRINTER) RZ55-F3 (X2) TK50Z-63 HZ821-00 (dismantled state) V3201 (small monitor) VR297D3 (Big monitor) SC01-E (microfiche reader + inc microfiches) MICROVAX II (large) There are numerous boxes of manuals,disks, cables,circuit boards etc. A quick reply would be appreciated if you would like to have any of this, otherwise it will go to the tip. We live not far from Ipswich (Martlesham Heath) in Suffolk. Regards. Chris Bailey. ------ End of Forwarded Message
