Re: To be scrapped in as little as 2 months
There are a few cross conversations going on here and in separate e-mail and maybe some confusion. On Friday, I am going to meet Pete to pick up the Suns and do some prep for later coming back to get the Alphas and the keypunch. I may also pick up Alphas, depending on my judgment on Fri whether I can transport them safely. There will be a second trip to pick up the keypunch and Alphas not picked up in the first trip. It is going to take at least two people to move and load the keypunch. I plan on using the first trip to evaluate whether two will be enough. Also, Pete says that stuff needs to be moved to access the Alphas and the keypunch. I intend to do some of that on the first trip. One complication is that the guy helping with the second trip is also intended in the Alphas. As far as getting one or more Alpha to Wellsboro ... it would be a race car team transporting the machine. I would make arrangements at the race in Portland this coming weekend, drop the equipment off with them at the next race in WA state and the equipment would be at the race after that in Wellsboro. But, at this time, I have not yet identified a team that would do it. They would want specifics on the Alphas that I don’t yet have. Someone asked about the Suns. I am going to bring them home, determine what state they are in and, if necessary, do clean up and sysadmin’ing on them. IIRC from the photo, there were a couple SS20s, a couple SS5s, a SS1+, what Pete described as a prototype SS1 and a system missing a side panel (so I can’t identify it, but it appears to be a SS5/20 vintage system). I am interested in a SS5 and the prototype for myself and will look for new homes for the rest. alan > On Apr 16, 2018, at 6:43 AM, Bill Gunshannon via cctalk > wrote: > > > > On 04/16/2018 09:14 AM, Pete Lancashire wrote: > https://photos.app.goo.gl/4u6k7EaXwPjTZaDS2 > > > Thanks Pete.

Other names via cctalk Ed Sharpesteve shumaker *Noel Chiappa* *John H. Reinhardt* First of, I am sorry for any additional noise on CCTALK. I will find out who replied first on each of the group of equipment. To keep the noise down if you name is above contact me directly then I can keep CCTALK out of the loop Once I have that I will let the 'group' know. Again I CAN NOT lift anything. The stuff is 25 miles from where I live. My partisipatoin will be limited to one thing, pointing out where the stuff is. The Suns are easy to get to. The Alphas will require moving about 300-500 lbs of other junk to make a path for a hand truck The 029 IS HEAVY, how much I can't remember but at least 200 more like 300 LBS and it will wil require moving another 200+ LBS of stuff out of the way. So we are looking at someone needing to move up to 1/2 TON of junk. Again all I can do is watch. The ground where the stuff is can not be driven on, a car will sink in the mud, The driveway is about 100-200 feet from the door. So the stuff will have to be carried and or maneuvered on a hand truck to the driveway. I will get back by tomorrow. -pete On Sat, Apr 14, 2018 at 7:43 PM, Pete Lancashire wrote: > 3 x DEC Alphas, small deskside models > > 5 to 6 x Sun pizza boxes one a Sparc 1 prototype > > 029 IBM Keypunch > > The day I can have a 15 cubic yard scrap metal drop box the stuff will > start to be tossed in. > > All based on when the rains stop and the ground is hard enough > > I can't want much longer > > For those that have not seen me post this before > > The stuff is near (3 - 4 miles outside of) Banks Oregon USA (look it up on > Google). > > I CAN NOT LIFT OVER 10 LBS, PERIOD. > > -pete >

I am heading down to PDX because I am a motorsports official. The first weekend of June, the series will be in Wellsboro. If you are interested, I can see if one of the teams is willing to haul one or two Alphas that way. Yeah, I could probably do Wellsboro. It's about halfway across the state from here. One, two or three. If I can't use them I have a lot of contacts with other people trying to find machines for VMS Hobbyist program. They will have good homes. bill

If anyone is making their way to VCF East, I'd be interested in saving the SPARCstations from the recycler.

I'll be working in Seattle 4/25 - 5/2 but flying so I sure can't transport one. Packing one securely would be a pain, but ground shipping would probably "only" run about $100 or so.

3 x DEC Alphas, small deskside models 5 to 6 x Sun pizza boxes one a Sparc 1 prototype 029 IBM Keypunch The day I can have a 15 cubic yard scrap metal drop box the stuff will start to be tossed in. All based on when the rains stop and the ground is hard enough I can't want much longer For those that have not seen me post this before The stuff is near (3 - 4 miles outside of) Banks Oregon USA (look it up on Google). I CAN NOT LIFT OVER 10 LBS, PERIOD. -pete
