Hi everyone. I’m selling a Sun 3/260 server on eBay. Local pickup only in the Boston area. Auction starts at a penny if anyone’s interested:

I haven’t powered on or tested this system (didn’t want to damage it) but it appears to be in great cosmetic shape and it has a Helios RAM board installed. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
 
I really want a Sun station. This is a driveable distance and a great machine if it works.. But its just a bit too much space and I am now have to clear out the excess from my collection. Better keep looking for a simple sparc station.
 
Yes, a 3/260 would be a bulky and very noisy workstation, especially with one of the period CRT monitors. My first real job my last year in college was at a company that put Sun 1 systems into CAD workstations. The graphics monitors took up a large part of a desk's surface.

I've got a working Sparcstation 5 if you're interested. Includes Sun monitor, keyboard and mouse. I'm asking $200.
 
The board set inside is a 3/160. It would have been easy to identify if you could read the part number tags on the boards, but you can't in the pictures.
The other big giveaway is there is no way that moniterm monitor would work on the 1600x1200 video out of a 3/260
