Best deal to date... I've had many some listes here:
18 MicroVax3100s, 20 terminals (VT320s) 4 TLZ04s, 3 TK50Z, misc
cables. ALL FREE, I had to pit it up in vermont (I live in eastern MA.).
6 complete Compupro system with 85/88 cpus disks and at least 500
disks with OS and software. All working. Also came with a job so I
guess they paid me.
PDP-8f also free.
Three complete PDP11/23s also free. Some with SCSI IO.
But this is the killer.
I wasn't even seeking this one it found me.
Complete All Mits Altair 8800B-T dual disk system in a desk rack with software and working. Free, pick it up. Build date 1978, provenence is single owner used for business until about 6 years ago and occasionally since.
The only systems I've paid money for (beyond a few dollars) are ones I bought new at the time. My Altair 8800 (non A version), first NS*Horizon
and TI99/4A, AmproLB+ and the software of the time for each. After that
(about 1985) I stopped buying and started collecting systems I'd otherwise could not afford that were being tossed in the dumpster(skip for the Euros). My association with DEC got me some of the material as scrap or unwanted as well. In the end some of the neatest gear like my Visual 1050 CP/M+ system sorta found me because I had my eyes and ears open.
