Just to let you know it all showed up today (about a week early).
Because I didn't receive any (significant) notice, I didn't take any
pictures...you'd have been disappointed anyway.

It was 2550 lbs of stuff on 3 pallets stacked to 4'.

The are some interesting items, but nothing there that doesn't require a
fair amount of TLC. I think if it were an ad for a used car it would be
"some work required". :-)

Here's a list of the major items:
      * RL01 (2)
      * RK05 (2)
      * 11/34 (3)
      * 11/05 or 11/10 (can't tell, part of front panel missing)
      * 11/40 mostly complete but has front panel whose switches were
        abused (broken/missing). The plexi is intact.
      * 11/40 badly abused. Front panel (and switches) intact (missing
        1 switch cover)
      * 11/50 (I was jumping up and down when I saw this until I figured
        out it had no cards...nada.)
      * BA11F expansion box full of cards (21")
      * RK11D (2+)
      * RK11C (2)
      * TU60
      * RX01 (or RX02) pretty horrible shape though
      * VT100 + 4 keyboards (all missing some keys)
      * various communications bulkheads
      * hardware (rails, doors, etc)

In going through one of the small boxes I found a very strange looking
cable. It had flip chip paddles on one end and centronics connectors
(2) on the other. The cable itself was twisted pair wire bunched
together. It took a few minutes to realize that this cable goes to
between a Fabritec memory expansion and an 8/I. This cable is
completely undocumented!!!
