Ryan, Let me know if you need measurements for the plexiglass sides. I still have those in my PDP-8 replica folder. Sellam On Tue, Jan 10, 2023 at 1:43 PM Ryan de Laplante via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > I’ve used Craters & Freighters and also Pakmail to pick up large machines >

I’ve used Craters & Freighters and also Pakmail to pick up large machines like this, crate them professionally, and ship them to me in the past. Sellers love that they have to do nothing. I wish I had more space to house machines like this, but will have to pass. I have a Straight-8 that

Yep. But they offer to do the legwork for you so there’s that. The Linc machine would cost a bit but the box of linc tapes not too much. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 10, 2023, at 12:54, Bill Degnan via cctalk > wrote: > > Totally, but to have a LINC shipped would be quite a project,

It says “shipping available” on the ad. I’ve had a lot of experience with hibid sellers and when they say shipping available it either means they will package and ship themselves or drop it off at the ups store and let ups contact you for payment. When i bid I usually write need shipping to

Cool. The only thing I notice is that it doesn't seem to have enough cards in it. I think a TC01 interface is an entire rack of cards for instance. Still I'm tempted as I doubt I'll ever get a chance the wildly overspend on a PDP-12. Marc On Tue, Jan 10, 2023 at 12:01 PM steve shumaker via
