Holy Cow... I guess the repair price this fellow got quoted was truly
astronomical!
Anyway... if you've got a VAXen of the type he's looking for, and you
want to get a good price for it and have it go to a good home to boot (pun
intended, of course), get in touch with the original author of the message
attached here...

Hi from Rostock, Germany
My old DecStation 5000 / 200 got hardware -problems.
Having it repaired is rather expensive with digital in germany.
As I still have data on two rz 55 / rz 56 disks I am looking for a
DecStation 5000 / 240 or 5000 / 260 system 2ndhand,
with a sytem 2 user license of ultrix 4.3 or 4.4
I would need only the system box (with hard disk built in ) as my
Dec (well rather Sony) 19" monitor is still well and alive ...
Shipping from US / CAN via UPS or DHL ...
Willing to pay about $ 500 (depending on type of sys and size of hard
disk)
