i have had the pleasure of making a trip with Dave McGuire to rescue some very
nice PDP-11/70 boxes. what were not expecting was the volume of stuff that we
were presented with. being the people we are, we could not just flat out say
no, we had to take it all. it filled a 24' truck. that's a lot of PDP-11/70.
in the pile of stuff was a bunch of LA36 and LA120 terminals. only one of the
LA36 terminals powers up and DTRT, the rest are assumed to be dead. this is
WAY more stuff that i can deal with, so i need these dead terminals (including
a dead LA120) as well as the working LA36 and four CRT terminals gone from my
house as soon as possible. i am not one to lightly toss things into the skip,
but if these are not recovered from my house in a timely manner, i fear i have
no choice but to do so.
ok, quick run out to the driveway, and here is a list of what is there for the
taking:
1 LA120 (assumed broken)
4 LA36 (assumed broken)
1 LA36 (seems to work)
1 Qume QVT-101 CRT terminal (powers up, seems to work)
1 Qume QVT-201 CRT terminal (powers up, seems to work)
1 Qume QVT-202 CRT terminal (powers up, seems to work)
MicroTeam FE 4520 CRT terminal (powers up, seems to work)
Diablo 620 (untested, has the extra tractor assembly)
i think i have the keyboards for all the CRT terminals, but i'd have to check.

ps: some pics of the PDP-11 haul, as well as moving my large collection of VAX
kit from dave's locker to my garage (stone/dirt floors SUCK)
