I think I can read the label "Microvax" at the stripe up left.
Funny they don't actually "list" the computer.

On the second picture there is a white box on the right with
some touch key panel. I think I have seen this kind of box
before. It's not DEC equipment. Could it be this is a printer
they used to have on the airports for printing boarding
passes?

Although it's too sad about the RA82 drives, but I would not
buy them like this. Shipping is an utter pain in the lower
intestinum.

But I couldn't buy them anyway, because of those weird
restrictions.

cheers,

PS: what are those Aquisition values? Are those original purchase
prices prorated for inflation? 45 thousand bucks seem to be high
even for an RA81. But what was the original purchase price
back then?
