All,

Looks like we will be able to save these from the Evil Melter,
enough people have expressed their interest. Some points of
interest:

- they are in Santa Clara, CA, not The Netherlands ;-)
  (sorry, my German and Spanish friends)

- they are in a "take em all or go away" deal; this scrapper is
  not one of the friendliest in the trade... still, he *does* let
  me go through things, which he never allowed before...

- i currently dont have time to work on the systems, as I am about
  to go to boston, so will just get them and store them in a safe
  place until march, when i am back here.

So.. to all who wanted some of the gear: I am going to arrange for
pickup of the stuff (all of the 7 racks, including the ones with all
the lab peripheral shtuff) and take out the cruft. Someone local
wants to pick up the programmable power supplies saturday, so that
is good ("one rack down, 6 to go!") and the digital voltmeter is
also "taken". I will try to compress the stuff into 2 or three of
the racks (the H960 clones from Tek) to save space.

I *assume* nobody wants the Tek displays/terminals.

Nobody wanted the VAX 7000, so I'll try to take some pictures of it,
before it visits the Evil Melter.

Cheers,
        Fred
