The VCF museum took delivery of a VAX 9440 today.

It arrived in two 28-foot trailers. Here's our forklift driver beginning 
to unload the first truck:

Here's a teaser picture of the main cabinet:

The full system is 30-40 feet long when it's all set up! It is in 
pristine condition and was in service at a defense contractor until a 
couple of months ago.

Rumor has it that we arranged for another one to land in Dave McGuire's 
Large Scale Systems Museum collection, and a third to be with Bob 
Roswell's System Source collection. :)  Perhaps they'll post updates too!
