Australia.  I recently had a quote of around $5,000 to send a 20 foot
container from Australia to the U.S.

Would like to purchase and restore a big mid-80s VAX. Stupidly passed one up
recently.
Let me know if you have one you'd be willing to part with- also open to
trades.
In the Seattle area, but a little too comfortable with arranging freight
shipping...
