- A friend of mine from the University of California at Riverside has
- sent the following report to me:
-
- < I have told you that there is a whole PDP 8 forsale here at the
- < UCR surplus eqpt sale, havnt I?
- < It has a 9 track, and a removable disk pack, plus some other
- < stuff. They are asking 25,000 for the whole thing, but I have also
- < gotten stuff they were asking 2,000 for 200, so I am sure they would
- < be willing to bargan.
- < It is quite a large piece of eqpt, it is over 6 feet tall, and
- < I am sure it is also quite heavy. But, I also suspect that if you
- < got it all that would be needed to make it go is to give it power.
-
- I gather that the UCR surplus outlet has a sale the first Tuesday of
- every month, and I'd lay even odds that the prices they list are the
- original purchase prices that the UCR paid for the equipment when new.
- Technically, their sales are by auction, and I suspect that the minimum
- bid they'll accept drops from month to month until they get rid of a
- piece of equipment.
