The person who owns the 785 finally got it dug out, and I looked at it
about a week ago and got a few pics. Unfortunetly, he pulled the main
boards and sold them for scrap. I have a spare 780 board set and
backplane, and most of the 785 board set. The pics show better detail
than I could see because of poor lighting. I couldn't find the
flashlight I keep in the car. The expansion cab has the BA11-KE and
boards are in it. The 11/03 and RX02 are there. I will be happy to dig
into it in more detail if anyone is interested. No tape or disk were
seen while there, but he doesn't remember getting rid of them. It
might end up getting totally parted out.
I just opened a flickr acct, and accidently left on pics of a slot
machine. An aquantance passed away and I'm trying to help his daughter
to find a home for it. Any gamers?
All located in Chanpaign, IL area.
Thanks, Paul

Hey can we at least TRY to save the machine (which doesn't need much
to make it complete) before we slice and dice what's left?

Save the doors! RCS needs doors for our VAX-11/785.

Hi Dave,
I'm all for saving it, but I have no room for it, and I'm more into
8's and 11's. I'm more than willing to help anyone with interest in
saving it. I think I have everything to convert it back to a 780, but
I think that is kind of a waste. As far as I know, this unit was built
as a 785. Anyone know how many 780's and 785's were made? I have some
785 boards, and am sure a full set can be found.
I hate to see anything go to the scrap pile, and yes, I probably
qualify as a packrat, but a packrat with a limited amount of space.
thanks, Paul

Hi Alexandre,
I was sleep typing after mignight and meant pinball machine, but typed
slot machine. She said it worked well and offered to let me try it out
but I passed. I remember her father showing it to me and he also said
it worked. I'm told they made two models of it and that this is the
older one.
Thanks, Paul

Hi Alexandre,
Do you know of any groups for pinball machines or have any idea of the
value? Where are you located?
Thanks, Paul

Off the original VAX topic. John from www.flippers.com posts on this list
occasionally. Might want to try asking him if you don't know who else to
ask.
