They're nine-track tape controllers (Pertec interface). Might be worth
saving if they'll sell them cheap.

Hard to say without knowing what cards are in it. If it's just a stock
configuration, it's not too exciting, although I wouldn't mind having
a spare VCB02 card set. Could contain interesting third-party stuff,
though.

The BA123 is a nice enclosure, and I wouldn't mind having another,
especially if it's in good condition, but it's probably not worth
shipping. Where's the stuff located?
