I would love an LK421, although I guess it is taken now. Although shipping to the UK would be horrific using FedEx. Anders Nelson via cctalk writes: > It's an lk421 -- Aaron Jackson PhD Student, Computer Vision Laboratory, Uni of Nottingham http://aaronsplace.co.uk/

Gah! This is what I get for ignoring this list for a couple days. I'd love to grab those DEC 3000's for spares. I'm in Seattle and a trip to Cali isn't in the cards right now. :( --Jason On 05/21/2017 07:36 PM, Steven M Jones via cctalk wrote: Sorry, forgot - Alphas! Two DEC 3000 model

Hi again, What a workout! I've followed up already with those who requested their respective items with me in order. If anyone passes on shipment I'll give the next in line a chance. Turns out Peter had a bunch of those Motorola brick flip-phones too so I'm harvesting the displays for my DIY

Hello, given the rules, I think the winner could be me! :) I hope it would not cost me a liver for shipment As I mentioned in my direct email to you, if the DECtalk business goes to the end, I would be interested also on the couple of Data General memory board, these could fit in a Nova I have

Re: FTGH clear-out at Mesa Electronics, Richmond, CA, USA

If FedEx is the only option then I think that may have to rule me out, shipping to the UK would be prohibitive. I had found a good rate with Parcel Monkey, if that is an option then I am still keen. Thanks for your help! Regards Rob > > On 24 May 2017 at 19:39 Anders Nelson via cctalk
