* * * FOR SALE OR DONATION * * *

Due to increasing financial and other pressures, I am being forced to
get rid of a substantial part of my Computer Collection.

Most of this stuff is heavy and bulky, so any local pickup that can be
arranged would be strongly preferred. I will deliver to you in the
area, but most of this stuff simply cannot be shipped. If there is
an individual part or board you want, and you want to pay for
shipping,
I will do my best to make that happen for you.

I will accept any amount of money for any given item, or I will accept
no money. If you are in the area or coming here to pick something up,
it probably wouldn't hurt to buy me a burrito or something, as its
going to hurt to part with some of this junk. My only condition
is that this equipment goes to a collector (at least someone who
appreciates the item) and not to the junk heap. I have spent far
too much time and effort preserving what little I do have to
allow this stuff to meet its end that way now.

I am in the Chicago, Illinois area. Please contact me through
 email at devnull_at_pobox.com.

Here is a partial listing, I can search for specifics if you like.
Best Bet would be to come on by and take a look:


PDP 11/04 Computer with unknown boards.
DEC TU60 DECASSETTE DRIVE
AED 6200P quad-8" Floppy drive, I believe with PDP11 interface
        (unbelievably heavy)
(Qty3) PDP-11 in BA23 enclosure (tower)
        [two 11/23, one 11/53]
DEC TK25 tape drive
(various parts of) External RD52 Drives
Various Quadbus and Unibus PDP boards (list is being compiled)
Various Cables from above systems

3 good size boxes of repair manuals from Tandy repair shop
        [mostly Panasonic Printers, Sony Monitors, Tandy stuff]
Ohio Scientific Challenger
TI Silent 700s
Various 8 bit systems/parts
Lots of 1200 baud modems
