I just don't want them in my living room any more.  One may be working 
or may need adjusting (it powers and appears to have all its parts,) one 
is missing the power cord so consider it a parts machine.  Hopefully 
some DEC collector out there can add them to their collection.  Hate to 
see them go to the dump.

You pick up in Palatine, IL (NW Chicago 'burbs)

Make a wooden top piece that has a cavity on the bottom
that allows it to fit over the keyboard and printer section.
Make the top a pretty walnut or cherry finish. Then tell
the wife that it's a new coffee table, or a bed-side table.

I remember seeing a cartoon that showed how Mac users had to
hide their Macs at work from the "PC police".     ;-)
