DEC units on ebay

Nice looking, but untested and $150k? Wow.

I used to be on it. But too many flame wars for me.

Ditto. There are a few folks there who just look to find offense. Life is too short...

That is a very nice machine, but with 5 days to go I suspect it won't sell at the current reasonable price.
Either way shipping to Australia is a show stopper for me.

It sold for $2000. Sadly it would have been to expensive to ship. Hopefully it goes to a good home.

I didn’t get that unfortunately, but I did get the other one that was there:



Hopefully the buyer is road-tripping to get it. Logistics from that very rural area is tricky, I had to make quite a few phone calls to find a company that does anything close to “white glove” service as far as crating. It’s costing me nearly $2k to crate and ship the other desk (and matching LA35) to my door - still well worth it to me. There is only one company near to the location that does crating/packing.

DEC PDP-11/70 just showed-up on FaceBook:

Listed in the "Vintage Computers" private FB Group.

Looks like the seller is going through an estate, there's a whole bunch of other DEC stuff there too (terminals, keyboards, disk packs, power supplies, etc).

I'll be passing on this myself, but it definitely needs to find a good home.

Hm. Wish there was a linking to a site that didn't require facebooking to view.

 

[Roland Huisman]

I think there is also a HP front panel at the right of the picture...

I don't see a link? Did a quick search on FaceBook but came up empty.

I think this is a private group, but I don't want to connect to FB or join this group, so I am not sure it's the right one.

If its obsolete lets talk about it. For those of us geeks who fiddled on Sinclair, Apple II, Atari and Commodore. O what joy it brought us.

Thanks. I found that and it's private so you can't see without joining. I requested membership but haven't got it yet.

 

[czunit]

Too bad it's private, that info will forever be locked behind someone's paywall.

Yeah, it's a private FB group unfortunately. Also, it looks like shortly after I made my post, the group owners deleted the seller's post.

Not sure what the current status is... was chatting with the seller last night and he mentioned that there was "heavy" interest in this machine.

I suggested that the seller deal with Dave (from the LSSM) as he's in the same general area (and I know Dave would give a good home to this machine).

I think the issue is that the group's rules quite plainly say no sales posts.

Self promotions and spam will result in a block. Sales posts will be removed. There are much better groups that are focused on the sale of vintage computers, such as here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/vintagecomputerswapmeet/

And the link is to another private group.

Facebook groups are their own little walled garden in terms of communities. It's hard to archive and hard to look in if you are not registered. Don't use it if you can because it's a massive source of bitrot.
