Three rescues for VCF that absolutely filled my van; twice on one of those occasion. Horder situations in every case :-( On Thu, Apr 20, 2023 at 1:31 PM Ian Litchfield via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Up until recently it was a few towers, but now I have a about 10 CRTs a few towers a bunch of Apollo Mag tapes and a 800lb AC unit in one trip. Rented a van for all that. Maybe one day I’ll get to the high class of moving mainframes. But this modest load will have to do!

Okay VCFers, what was your one largest single vintage computer haul?
Two rescue candidates via (full) box truck, not sure which one is larger
1) 2x PDP-11/70, racks of Fuji Super Eagles, random peripherals including an 026 card punch
2) mega-DEC-haul w/11/44, 11/34, various racked peripherals (DECtape, RK05...) terminals...
or the 5 van loads of PDP-11 and VAX gear (and the raised flooring) I bought from my employer when they closed in 1993.
Fortunately none of this is in rental storage. No worries about rent hikes, locker auctions, etc... But I could use 500-1000 blank sq ft to really set this stuff up so it can be gotten to from front and back.
It's been pretty dry for big DEC rescues for 20 years but 1985-2000 was great for it.
