Subject: PDP11/34 Being Retired and Scrapped

A plant at which I work is retiring a PDP11/34 and two Industrial I/O
racks later this month. This machine has at least two sets of spare
boards and even a spare hard drive as well as a complete set of
manuals. It has been under a DEC service contract and has been running
24/7 for the last 20 years. After I transfer control of the furnaces to
AB PLC's later this month, the DEC has been promised to a scrap yard in
the Dallas area. If I can pry it away from the scrapper grasp, would
anyone want it. I'm not into mini's so I don't want it, but I hate to
see it get recycled for the metal.

Also, I know where a HP 3000 can be picked up for probably under a
$100. It has a hard drive, at least a med of ram, a 9 track tape drive
(requires 3ph 208v), 10-12 HP2392 (as I recall) terminals, all of the
cables, boards, expanders, a modem and was running when removed. If
anyone is intrested, let me know and I'll pass your email adress to this
guy.
