Some old stuff is looking for a new home before it goes to the shredder:
Mail me if you have interest, I will then forward any orders to the owner.
Location:
Davos in Switzerland/Europe
Presen owner:
Meteological Observatory, used for lab data capturing/processing
State:
Was running last time it saw power. The VT100, one PDP8/A, one TU56
I have seen running 4 weeks ago.
Hardware:
2 * DEC PDP8/A, 20-Slot (big) Omnibus case, core memory (I do not know
how much), with the optional octal front pannel
2 * DEC RK05, removable disk drives 2.4MByte
1 * DEC RL01, removable disk drive 5MByte
1 * DEC RL02, removable disk drive 10MByte
2 * DEC TU56, dual tape drives (small reel tapes)
1 * big reel tape drive, no manufacturer/model written on it,
just lable: 9 track 800/1600 BPI 45IPS see ASCII art below
1 * chassis 19", 54cm wide, 76cm deep, (+19cm deet), 127cm high
2 * chassis 19", 54cm wide, 76cm deep, (+19cm feet), 180cm high
2 * Calcomp 836, plotter, ca 2m wide, 30cm deep, 20 cm high
beige plastic ends, blue metal middle
1 * Centronics 6085, printer, ca 1m x 1m x 1m
There is also 1 * DEC VT100, terminal 80x24, but I am having that :-)
I may manage to find space for one PDP/8A with 1/2 the 2 disk drives and
1 TU56, but that is still open. If someone else want both of them (or 2
people want one), they can have them, I am actually into PDP11s (the
system was billed as a 11, but turned out to be 2 8s).
Software:
- OS/8
- rts/8
Manuals:
- Operation Manual PDP8/A
- User Manual FPP12A
- Maintenance Vol3
- RK05 Maintenance
- RL01 Users Guide
- Teletype 33ASR (no hardware, has been scrapped years ago)
- Calcomp above
- Centronics above

Sorry that my small pencil sketch drawn 4 weeks ago (just before going
on holiday) is not better.
