I can keep my eyes out. Let me know offline what you are looking for and I'll
beat the bushes. Older Sony monitors are much easier to find than anything
else, of course, and weigh a ton.

I do not know much about any other 13W3 monitors, except that SGI also has
their own 13W3 pinout, but you can make a swabber.

What versions? I have distro kits for lots of VAX Ultrix releases in the
1986 - 1994 timeframe. Mostly on 16MT9, but a couple of TK50s. I'd be
happy to see these preserved. I even recently found some SYSV and SYSIII
magtapes. No idea if they can still be read. My only working tape drive
is a TU80 that hasn't been powered on in a couple of years (just got some
TE16s last year that were stripped for sensors before they got to me; might
still be able to get a TapeStretcher-11 that was hooked to a 11/750 I got
from a company in Dayton some time ago). I'd love to have a SCSI magtape
drive to make it easier to capture tape images - just fire up the laptop
with the APA1460 card and off I go!
My first UNIX experience was 4.1BSD on an 11/750 (and I _have_ that exact
machine). My first UNIX adminstration experience was loading Ultrix 1.1
onto an 11/730 (got that one, too!). It was once known as
...ihnp4!cbosgd!osu-eddie!osucis!kpanda, or something very close to that.
We always had to support both VMS and Ultrix/BSD for our customers. I never
threw away a single manual or distribution tape the entire time I was there.
Fortunately, the boss let me back the truck up against the door as my final
paycheck. The stuff I had to leave behind (sniff)...
