Just to let folks know that I finally moved the IBM 4331 Mainframe this past weekend
from where it was currently stored to my shop.  Pictures are here:

As can be seen in the pictures, it filled a 26’ box truck that I had rented for this purpose.
Right now I just have it placed somewhat in my shop.  Some early tasks will be:
   * I have to verify that I have everything.  Even if I missed some items, they won’t be
     scrapped.  I just need to go over what is currently in my shop and verify that I didn’t
     leave anything behind.  I’m mostly worried about cables at this point.
  * I have to figure out some way to produce enough “clean” 3-phase power to run the
    peripherals (the CPU is 220v single phase) as I only have 220v single phase coming
    into my shop.

Starting to power it up will probably be a while yet.  ;-)
