I’d love to help out and take a Compaq but my chances of getting to Kansas any time soon are slim to none, and slim just left town :-( On Mon, Dec 23, 2019 at 4:35 PM Christian Liendo via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

My parents are moving and my dad is pretty overwhelmed with cleaning out the house. He's ready to toss these in the garbage but I convinced him to let me try to find someone on Reddit to take them. It seems like a real shame to send these to the landfill. If someone is willing to come to Kansas to pick them up, he'll give them away.
What is pictured:
-2 Compaq 1s luggables, one with a 10 MB hard drive
-1 DEC RLO2 drive
-1 pdp 11 rack for the drives
-Numerous assorted 5 and 10 MB RLO disk packs
Not pictured:
-1 DEC RLO1 drive -2 DEC Rainbow 100s, working. 1 with a monitor and 10 MB hard drive -1 LA100 printer with pin feed tractors
RLO1 and LA100 not pictured because they are currently in the dumpster. They should have had a pretty soft landing but be warned. DEC rainbows should be in perfect working order.
Also 3 of the RLO disk packs fell during moving after the photo was taken. My dad insists they are useless after the slightest drop so they are also in the dumpster.
Message me if you're interested or at least upvote for visibility. IDGAF about the fake internet points. I just want to preserve history if possible.
