PDP-11 equipment for sale or donation

Hello,

$500 or **make me an offer** for this PDP-11 equipment...

Here's what PDP-11 stuff I have to sell or donate (to a museum or
charity).  I would like to get this equipment to someone who will use
it, as opposed to someone who wants one board or manual and will put
the remainder in a dumpster -- at least that someone should properly
recycle the equipment.

It all must go as a LOT -- no piecemeal sales (just don't have the
time to parcel it out).

You'll need a full-size pickup truck, a industrial-grade hand-truck
and two strong bodies (not including mine -- I'm not that strong).

Most of it was working; I saw the 11/23 system booted and running off
the RL02s, under RT-11 (in 1991, when I obtained it).  The 19" rack
has been sitting crated since that time (without any computer
equipment inside) in the damp basement of my house -- I have no idea
of its current condition.  Everything else is upstairs in the way --
my wife says "let 'em go"....


    1	4'x19" DEC rack 
    1	single height blank panel
    4	sets of sliders

    The rack holds 6 single height modules: the CPUs' card cages
    are all single height, the disks are all double height. The rack 
    comes with a filtered, remote-switched power distribution panel.

    2	4x9 slot card cages, one 18-bit bus, one 22-bit. Both have
    heavy duty power supplies, fans, power/reset/halt switches.

    The PDP-11/23 system (all 18-bit, I think):

    1	M8186	LSI-11/23 CPU card, MMU but no FP chip.
    1	M8059FC	128Kx16bit memory card ?
    2	M8044	32Kx16bit memory card
    1	M8043	DLV11-J quad serial line controller
    1	M8013	RLV11 RL02 disk controller (2 card set)
    1	M8014	  "     "    "    "        
    1	M8012YA	BVD11YA backplane controller with ROM, clock, etc

    The PDP-11/23 PLUS system (looks almost brand-new):

    1	M8089	PDP-11/23+ CPU card with MMU, FP and CIS chip sets
    1	M8067KB	MVS11-P memory, 256Kx22bit
    1	8061	RLV12 RL02 disk controller
    1	M7957	DZV11-J controller

    2	RL02 disk drives
    15	RL02 disk packs (10Mb each)
    1	RX02 dual 8" disk drive with controller card
    1	bus extension card (pushes the card outside the cabinet)

    AND:
    National Semi Q-bus 22-bit, 512KB memory bought at TCF

    BOOKS/SOFTWARE:

    Old RT-11 (Version 4.1?) distribution on RL02 and RX02 media
    Includes all kernel sources and macro assembler.

    Fortran, basic, DIBOL (DEC COBOL) and a few other things

    Complete RT-11 manual set (3 feet of binders) plus assorted PDP
    data books and other stuff

    Complete schematics for an 11/23+ (this is the field set).

    BSD2.9 manuals

    My docs are all 1983/1984 vintage, which is fine for the boards I
    have, but they don't document newer Q-bus stuff.


I'm located in Durham, North Carolina, very close to I-85 (2.5 hours
to Richmond VA, 4+ hours to D.C., 9 hours to NYC by car).
