Anyone got a small VAX going spare?

[Liam Proven]

A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me a MicroVAX - I think a 3100.
I never got round to doing anything with it, then he asked for it
back, pending giving me a newer, better machine - but then his life
went a bit pear-shaped and he lost his entire collection, leaving me
VAXless.

It now emerges I have an urgent need to polish up my VMS knowledge,
which is a good excuse.

I was thus wondering if anyone in England - ideally, around the SE -
had any spare VAXen they might part with for an impoverished
fellow-hobbyist?

I don't really need disks - I have a small stockpile of SCSI drives
and maybe even some ESDIs somewhere. It does need to be otherwise
running, though. I have SCSI CD-ROMs available and a Hobbyist CD
somewhere.

In the meantime, I'll try SIMH, but I'd much prefer real hardware if possible.

In an ideal world, I would really love an old VAXstation. I used to
rather like DECwindows and would love to play with it again...
