Until a few years ago I had a Wang 2200 MVP.? When I was using it in my high school
classroom an administrator had the room cleaned and moved the system outside.? A sudden
storm destroyed the CPU and drives.? I have several working Wang 2236 terminals if
somebody has a need for one.? Also, I would like to locate a 2200 MVP to play with again.?
I am also looking for homes for a pair of Wang PCs from about 1990, two different models,
one set up for networking.

Hopefully said administrator was given a severe talking to.

To add to this, at RE-PC in Seattle, WA there's a bunch of 2200 MVP
hardware sitting in the back corner: a set of manuals, a couple of
terminals w/keyboards and some 8" drive units. Alas, no CPU (or I would
have picked it up for myself :))

I happened to see that stuff there today myself while dropping off a dead
monitor for recycle. I thought about taking some pictures with my phone
but didn't bother. I think it was something like $75 for each of the two
8-inch floppy drive boxes. One with 3 drives and the other with 2. I saw at
least 3 keyboards. I don't know anything about Wang equipment so I couldn't
tell you what it was.
