HP 2113E, TI 990/4 CPUs available

When I began expanding my collection last year,
I snapped up a couple of machines that were
available on the cheap and interesting at the
time. Since then, I've had pretty good luck at
fleshing out my PDP-8 collection, which is where
I started with this hobby, and I don't feel like
I have the time, space, or inclination to do
justice to these machines, and would like to
put them in the hands of collectors who would
appreciate them more.

The 2113E CPU is in excellent cosmetic condition
and appears to power up (+5V present, fans running),
but shows nothing on the display. I don't have a
listing of the boards installed, but it is pretty
well tricked out. I can take a look tonight.

The TI 990/4 was received in awful condition, and is
currently disassembled. The chassis is a bit
damaged, but is salvageable. It really makes more
sense to part this machine out if there is someone
who has a chassis and needs spares or replacements
for the internals.

I am offering the HP for $80 and the TI for $40,
plus the actual cost of packing and shipment by
a pack-and-ship store. You can also pick them
up in Cupertino, California, which would be the
easiest and preferred arrangement.

I reserve the right to sell only to someone who is,
in my judgement, a serious collector and who will
be able to provide a good home for each of the
machines. I will consider waiving the asking price,
particularly if you are able to arrange a local
pickup. I really want these machines out of my
home ASAP, but I want them to be cared for and
appreciated.

Please contact me via e-mail if interested.

Thanks,

--Bill
