DEC Microvax IIs

[djvortical]

Hello all!

I have two DEC Microvax II towers that I'm looking to sell.

I'm new to this forum, and I'm new to vintage computers in general, so I'm hoping there'll be some people that are able to help me with both!

I don't know exactly how to determine specs or what they are, with both having hard drives. One has two RD53A drives, the other has 4 assorted Maxtor drives in it.

Please reply with offers and questions! I'll upload pictures when I get a chance.

Thanks!

First off, providing location helps a lot. Are you willing to ship, or requesting local pick up only?

Apologies. I'm located in Oregon, USA, and I'll ship anywhere the buyer can pay for, I'm thinking it'll probably need to be on a pallet which could mean some pretty high expense but I also know that they could be worth it to some.

It sounds like at least one of them is in a BA123 pedestal. If you're anywhere within a couple hundred miles of Seattle, I'm at least somewhat interested.

In that case, if it's a BA123 and in decent shape, it's worth up to a couple hundred to me since I can reasonably collect it and freight wouldn't enter into it. I'd like to PM you about a possible deal but AIUI you need 10 posts to use the private message function of the forum.

If you put your location in your profile it will pop up on all posts...

It does indeed look like that picture. Would you be interested in one or both? They are both in good condition, one of them has quite a few barcode stickers from the organization it was used at originally. Do you know more solidly what you're looking to spend or do you want to discuss that in private? I have just about every form of conventional and social communication.
