System Source is hosting another swap meet this month, on July 20th.
My thanks to Ryan for coordinating this. Here's some of what I'm bringing (and I need to update the spreadsheet, will try to do that today): I have years of accumulated computer/electronics stuff that I kept shoving into boxes and storing, and well, most of it has to go. I also have a *lot* of Sun systems that need to go, plus audio/stereo gear, plus more. I doubt I'll be able to bring everything this time around, there just isn't enough room or time. I'd like to get some $$ for some of it. Other stuff is free to anyone who can make use of it: I'd rather give it away than recycle it. I plan on making two piles: free and unfree. ;) Unfree: cash (bills <= $20 please), check, Paypal. [ If you're a museum and want some of this stuff, let me know. I would be happy to support efforts to restore/preserve gear. ] I'll test as much of it as (a) I have time for and (b) I have the setup for. If I can't test something, we'll negotiate two prices: working and broken/parts bin, and then we'll settle up based on what it turns out to be. Things marked with a * are probably too heavy or large for me to lift into my car. They're in my storage space ~1.5 miles from System Source so if folks want them, we can pop over there, I can bring them downstairs (I hope), and they can go straight into buyers' vehicles. Sun gear: - * 2 Sun V240's with drives, memory, rails - * Sun GDM 20E20 monitor [ Part of my brain claims that someone asked me for this many years ago. But unfortunately I can't find the email message that would remind me who it was. If it was you, please ping me. ] - * Sun J4500 storage array and many boxes of 500G drives (with caddies) for it. - * 42U 2-post open frame freestanding 19" server rack. See the attached low-quality photo. ;) - 4 Sun VGA CRT monitors - 5 Sun Ultra tower systems in various states (10's, 60, ??) - Sun Enterprise Storage Array (chassis plus I think the power supplies in a box: it's in pieces IIRC) - crunched Sun DLT drive/changer, box of DLT tapes - Sun wide-SCSI enclosure (811? not sure) - Ultra 5 desktop? - Blade 100 desktop? - Ultra-24 tower system? If you're interested in Sun Sparc pizza boxes, particularly Ultra-1 and Ultra-2 systems, let me know. I may not be able to bring them this time around, but I'm willing to to keep track of who wants what and figure out how to make it happen later. I have rather a lot of them, plus CPUs, memory, disks, etc. I know there are also some Sparc-4/5/10/20 systems, so let me know if you have any interest in those. Audio gear: - Sony STR-AV47, prob not working - Onkyo TX-27, prob not working - Onkyo HT-R540, prob not working Assorted stuff that I'll try to box up and bring: - USB cables (all types) - Ethernet cables - telco (RJ11) cables + adapters - coax (CATV) cables + splitters - power cables (120 VAC) - power cables (PC internal) - ribbon cables (PC internal) - IDE disk drives - SCSI disk drives - CD/DVD disk drives (internal) - PC sound cards - PC video cards - PC disk controllers - PC USB cards - various PC systems (working, not working) - various PC laptops (working, not working) - all kinds of RAM - external USB disk drives (plus wall warts) 80G and up - all kinds of wall warts (power adapters) - keyboards and mice - all kinds of electronic/computer gizmos, e.g., Linksys PAP2 VOIP adapter And completely off tech: if anyone does stained glass as a hobby, I have an entire collection of glass and tools that I'm looking to offload: let's make a deal. ---rsk
