Hi, I frequent the University of California - Santa
Barbara surplus
store and noticed they have the following PDP stuff
that is heading
for the scrap heap this week unless someone comes and
buys it (and
considering that the alternative is scrap prices,
it'll probably go
cheap):

(from memory, so it's probably 85% accurate):

- 4 waist-high 19" racks containing the PDP stuff.
- 2 each PDP-11/23 rackmounted
- 2 each PDP-11/73 rackmounted
- at least 4 RL02 drives
- a couple or more RC25 (I think) cartridge drives
- other random equipment that I can't identify
- 2 Decwriter line printers/consoles
- A big push cart full of (looks like unused) RL02
packs and RC25
carts.
- RSX manuals and a bunch of other documents

All this stuff came from an installation that was
finally turned off,
so it looks complete.

I'd get it for myself, but I just do not have room.
If you're in the
Santa Barbara / Los Angeles area and are going to pick
this stuff up
and need a hand, let me know.
