2 PDP-11/04s available in Melbourne, Australia

Available for free (pick up only, I can't think of a viable way to ship
these) in the SE suburbs or Melbourne.

2 x PDP-11/04s
4 x RL01 drives
Misc. RL01 disk packs, cables, etc.
No racks

They're in rough condition. They've been sitting on the back verandah of
my house for some time now. Out of the rain, but exposed to the elements.
I removed them from a building that was being vandalized and eventually
demolished. A planned move that would have seen them more appropriately
housed fell through. I haven't attempted to power them up.

They used to be the character generator and animation system for a large
scoreboard. One of the RL01s is damaged. There are dents and scratches
from where someone has hit it with something. The VT100s there didn't fare
so well. I doubt any of the disk packs will be salvageable, they've been
thrown around (I found this lot after tripping over a disk pack while I was
walking through the long grass).

Getting this stuff down from the 5th floor was hard work on my own. I was
hoping to get it up and running again one day, but probably should have
passed it on to someone else long ago.

I recall offering these to someone on this list sometime ago, but I lost
contact (my apologies, not his fault).
