I was the lucky person who managed to reply first. Firstly I can confirm
it was very heavy and not on the ground floor either!
Some details of what was saved : PDP11/44, RL02 drive, TS05 tape drive, dual
DECcassette drive, and lurking underneath it all at Micro 11/73.
RSX-11M-Plus V3.0 installed on the 11/73. I have powered up the 11/73, but
the rest will need to wait a while. I will however catalog the cards in the
'44.
Interesting pair of cards in the 11/73: The machine was used to prepare
TeleText pages. (Not sure what or if is the US equivalent.) The two cards
seem to be designed to insert signals into a video stream. Sadly no useful
identification on the two cards. If anyone knows about these and can make
use of them, let me know as I can't use them.

Dear Bill,
One Friday afternoon I sent you an email about a free PDP11. Within forty
minutes the first interested people were mailing me back. I am happy to
report
that the machine has now been collected and is going to be put to good use.
Many thanks for helping to recycle an impressive (and extremely heavy)
computer system.
