The following items need rescuing from the scrap man before Thursday this week !

Many FREE DEC Computer items need to go:
1 Letterwriter 100
1 Letterprinter 100
2 LA120 RA
2 Decwriter III (with inbuilt keyboards)
1 LP25
48 RL02 disks (used) but in boxes
Loads of 1/2 inch tape reels
Cipher GCR cachetape 1/2 tape drive.

contact me if you are interested as I can’t get there in time :(
 
This is of course the same list that I posted in an earlier thread (and on Twitter @ianparr , where I got some success in finding takers)
Not had any more takers for the gear I'm afraid so most is going to scrap today (shame) we are looking to see if we can temporarily relocate some of the smaller printers and disk packs elsewhere before tomorrows building exit deadline.
 
What a shame.... sure hope at least some of this was saved. I've got lots of family in the UK, but they're all near Hull - which is a long ways away from Portsmouth.

It's not easy to find RL02's in-the-box these days... The LP25 would have been interesting too, along with a bunch of tapes.

All the big stuff has now been scrapped but the letterwriter/printer 100's and decwriters have been stored.

If anyone in the UK still wants Diskpacks or these units, please let me know - collection only from southern England.
 
Hmm, could be tempted by that Letterwriter 100 but I wouldn't be able to get down until the end of July. Also tempted by a certain Model 43 Teletype that I spotted :)

Cheers,
Dave
 
I could be intested in the Letterwriter 100 as well or a ansii terminal if they are being scrapped. PS - I cannot DM because I have not yet done enough posts
Thank you
