Hey folks,
I'd like to hear from anyone who has experience shipping Qbus DEC gear. I have my eye on a PDP-11/23 in a BA23, third party RX02-compatible drive (same form factor as a BA23), and VT100, but it's on the opposite side of the country from me.
I've never shipped any DEC stuff. Everything I've ever had come through my hands has been a local (or nearly local) transaction that involved pickup. This stuff is just too heavy and bulky to go through FedEx or UPS, so I assume I would need an LTL freight service, which I've never used.
If you've had experience in this area, would you mind dropping me a line, or replying here? I'd like to know more about how it went for you, what to avoid, etc.
