PDP by the pound

[tponsford]

HI All

A friend mentioned to me he saw what looked to be some DEC equipment
at a local scrap yard. Looking through the scrap I saw a really sad looking
rack with some RA81 and 82's. They looked too damaged and too hard to 
dig out,
but as I was leaving, out of the corner of my eye, I spied another 
"buried" cabinet
with 8" floppy drives. Curiosity got the best of me and a closer look 
the cabinet
said KEVEX 1600. The floppies looked to be in good condition so I 
removed the
cover plate and lo and behold, a Qbus 11/03 greeted me! I yanked the 
third-party
qbus chassis out and also the *" drive cabinet, which turned out to be 
a  DSD 210!

The scrap yard charged me by the pound, around $20!


Cheers
