largest private DEC collection in USA to be sold.

[Patrick Jankowiak]

Hello,

I've been asked to post this notice.

We are liquidating, as a lot, all or part, the largest DEC 
computer collection in private hands (that we know of).

Includes several pdp8 systems, pdp11's, many VAXen, a rare 
Pro-380 integrated desk system, rainbows, KIMS box, decmate or 
vaxmate, as well as peripherals, software on paper tape, dectape, 
8" and 5.25 floppys, spare boards, parts, etc., cables, loot and 
booty, even the sacred |d|i|g|i|t|a|l| speakers' podium from the 
DEC ACT in Dallas, Texas and the DEC 'bricks' which used to adorn 
the wall in the reception area. Also, for contrast, a pleasing 
assortment of other systems including a diverse collection of 
early (floppy only) laptops, (including several sony SMC-210's 
which are made of unobtanium), several IBM Mainframe test boxes, 
beehive terminals, floppy disk drive tester, Tektronix 4014 
graphics terminal, the original analog disk drive fromt the first 
Ampex slo-mo instant replay system installed at Cowboys Stadium, 
you name it, Osborne 1, Apples, commodores, compaq luggables, 
IMSAI 8080 with lots of spares, SWTPC computer, maybe 10 VT100 
types, TI Professional portable, everything right down to the 
nuts and bolts. Has been stored in a 30x40 climate controlled 
building which is packed. Most all of it was working when 
removed, and has been stored. There's more I can't think of right 
now, but have a look at the web page (its' incomplete too, but it 
is what it is):

The collection is available for $8000 all or part FOB Dallas, 
Texas. We estimate 2-3 moving vans. Viewing reccommended and by 
appointment please.


Best regards,
