Folks,
Thanks to building reductions we're having to offload all our old VAX kit
and I'd much rather see it go to someone who can use them, even as spares.
There's also a load of UNIBUS and QBUS spares, too many to list.
Big stuff:
VAX 7710, various processors + memory
AlphaServer GS60e
Possibly VAX 6610
Less big stuff:
Alpha 2100 + spares
Alpha 2000
Alpha 800
Alpha 1000 x3
AlphaStation 2xx x4 (spares only)
2 MicroVAX 2000
Various VAXstations, 3100s etc + spares
Several BA415 VAXen, 3400/3800/4200/4300
VAXstation 4000s
Possibly an Alpha1200 and DS20 (big box version)
Collection only, obviously these things are HEAVY.
Cheers,

Darn, if this was in The Netherlands, I'd be picking up *everything*
ASAP, for example THIS weekend! Especially the VAX 7710 and 6610.
I cannot rent a truck and make a trip to the UK :-<

I would be interested in a microvax or similar...

Same problem here except in the opposite direction. It's (or I'm) on the
wrong side of the Irish Sea :-(
That Alphaserver GS60e is very tempting although there may be problems
getting it around corners in the house and then there is the power issue.
There is a three phase distribution transformer in my back yard but only a
single phase supply to the house. Even if the power supply doesn't care if
the three phases are wired together to a single phase supply, it looks like
the starting surge would be a little bit on the high side anyway :-(

Peter Coghlan.

Hello Adrian,
Definitely interested in some of these things. Don't have space for the big
stuff (although looking into this). Would be interested in the MicroVAX
2000s, and Unibus and QBus spares, possibly some BA415 stuff. Will get back
to you later after I have had time to peruse the list more carefully.
Regards
Rob

New subject: Oh! I forgot (was )VAXen available, pickup only from Newmarket, UK
There?s also a pristine RL02 and RA60 and some TZ877s, couple of TS05s. I?m
guessing the tape drives will be less collectable though.
If anyone wants a couple of LP25s they?re welcome to them :)
Cheers

I would *love* to get my hands on the larger VAXen. It would be such
a pity if they'd to to the scrapper... I do even have space and
three-phase power for thembut I see no straight-forward way to ship
them over here...
