The Paxton auction: any interest in rescues
It was a very cheap sale. Unfortunately it means that the scrappers got most
of it. Checkout is still going on so there is a chance for some rescues if
anyone is interested. I am posting the following list in hope that someone is
interested in the misc. I will negotiate with the scrappers who bought the
following if you are interested. Cheap offers are OK but we must move fast.
Vector 3 (not a Soroc) with attached hard/floppy drive. The power cord for
the HD/FL is broke. The CPU powers up nicely and all has worked in the past.
The glare guard fabric is torn.
Two Vector 4s with hard and floppy drives. They work but I can't find
keyboards.
Vector DD-5026 dual floppy accessory.
Andromedia Systems Dual 5 1/4 floppy disk drive, DDMDS-B, SN 21. Could this
be for DEC equip.

Another drive case is a JMR Electronics with two Tandon TM848-01s. Powers up.

Compupros, Two 16 slots wi Tarbel Z80 CPU/IO, Ram 16 and the Tarbel MD 2022

A Telebyte TBX front loading reel Tape drive with serial IF.
A Televideo TS803 that boots MS Dos. Works fine.
a Symmetric 375 for parts, no HD (1/2 of the power of a VAX 750)!
I have also made a deal with another scrapper to offer both 8 " hard and
floppy drives.
Several Quantum 2020s, 2040s and 2080 HDs.
Three IMI 7720 HDs
Shugart 801 and 851 full Ht Floppies

NEC 1165-FQ & 1 1165-A 1/2 Ht floppys, and
Shugart 810 and 860 1/2 Ht floppies, all 8" drives.
All are working pulls, heads parked but untested. Looking to get $10 to $40
depending on size, condition and quantity. Shipping additional.
I also believe the VAX 730, the RA60 and the RA81s are headed for scrap.
Any Interest out there?
Paxton
