I have not had much luck picking one up locally. In this case, the BA-23
is full of parts, and this is a complete, operating PDP-11. It also has
2 Wyse 85 terminals and a serial printer. I have not decided if it is
worth it to bother with the terminals or printer, but I am thinking they
would be easy to ship.
The person that is unloading the system seems to think the box is too
big or too heavy for UPS. I am not sure how correct this is.
What I would like to to just get someone to help him box it up for
shipping. I would arrange the pickup and shipping to me. I appreciate
the input so far and will announce to the group once we figure out who
will help and how it will be shipped.
Thanks a ton for the responses so far!
