IBM Series/1 for sale

[kevink]

Hello, help my friend to sell his IBM Series/1. This includes IBM Processor, 4962 and 4963 disk drives, 4973 and 4974 printers, etc. Make offers if interested.

This is pickup only near Lincoln, NE.

Thanks!

Let's be realistic - nobody can make a reasonable informed offer based on the provided information.

Do you have pictures? What exactly is included and in what condition?

I think the Series/1 is a very niche machine. I think you might find some one to haul it away free, but I think "sell" is being aspirational. Seeing as its not "mainstream" you probably need to mention it as widely as possible. I suggest the cctech mail list

the mainframe face book group (some one has posted it on there)

and perhaps

probably also need to list any floppys and software. S/1 software is a bit rare...
... best of luck...

It appears someone deleted my post because it had my phone number in it :face palm:

I am interested in a series/1 for a long time, contact me.

I'm interested in learning more about this system. Pictures and more details would help.

you're welcome..
and if you don't already know what it is, you don't want one.

Hi Al,

Maybe he meant he wanted to learn about that specific system and what condition it is in?

Please give people the benefit of the doubt.

Yes I was looking for a description and pics of the condition of the units.
