There is another large RR Auction with some nice Apple stuff, but there is a Bendix for sale https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/347709906735051-bendix-g-15-th...
The Bendix listed at the RR Auction site is the unit that is currently on display at the museum at Info Age. One family owned 4 Bendix Computers! One is the unit at Info Age, currently being auctioned. We (Computer Museum at System Source) purchased two of them from the family. One is on display in our museum, and the 2nd is at Usagi Electric (he is making terrific videos about the restoration!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RGp-bsYf34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9IxVi24R5Q&t=366s We are storing the last Bendix for the family.

So I feel stupid. I really didn't look at the photos. I didn't know that was for sale. On Tue, Aug 1, 2023, 4:53 PM Bob Roswell <broswell@syssrc.com> wrote:

We'd save a fortune on shipping costs if we were to buy it. 😁 On Tue, Aug 1, 2023, 5:03 PM Andrew Diller via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

So the museum is deassessing the Bendix? Are there other items the museum is looking to convert to cash? Does the deassession policy specify RR auctions as the place for these items to be sold?

As far as I'm aware the museum does not own the Bendix, it's still on loan from the family who is now selling it through RR. -CJ On Wed, Aug 2, 2023 at 3:25 PM W2HX via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

That system is on loan to the museum, it is not owned by the museum. -Dave On 8/2/23 15:23, W2HX via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Please read the previous emails. The Bendix G15 has been on loan for many years. It is actually beyond the loan period of 5 years. We are about 2 or 3 more years beyond that. We have known for some time that the family that owns it wanted to sell it. They explore a few methods and were not happy until they found RR auction. They chose to sell this one because of the low serial number of 3. In addition the provenance. It was used in the construction of the Baltimore Tunnel I believe. I don’t have the exact details in front of me because I’m on a flight to VCF West. Please let me know if anyone has any further questions or concerns.
