mic, those two larger tubes in the device in the lower pix look like 6CA7's, or EL34's. Those are hi-fi fetish items, esp if they are Mullard. Your new stuff looks great!

I went out and grabbed a few more.I wish I had known they had value before last week.... :shock:
Those 3 at the top are telefunkin which seem to be pretty valuable.Tomorrow I have about 30 more boxes to finish up on,hopefully I can find some more.But in case I don't,I have one more load coming with this equipment,maybe I can get some more from that stuff.

We picked up our second load,and it's better than the first.There's a lot of very vintage test equipment,and a lot of super-high grade boards.Definitely too much stuff to post here,but I'll post a few of the good pics.

A lot of interesting stuff in that load. If you happen across an old HP3585a or b spectrum analyzer in the mix - I would be interested in picking up another - working or not, as long as it's in good physical shape.
 
I think I have a working one that is missing the #1 board.
I'll have to check and make sure it's the right one.
 
The facility that has been giving us trailor loads of equipment called again.They finished moving and had some more stuff for us to come pick up.There were 5 pallets and some miscellaneous equipment. We were only able to keep 3 of the pallets whole,the rest had to be loaded by hand.I have no clue what the white things are in the back of my truck,all I know is they are quite heavy for their size,they are all alluminum,and there is a ton of them.The (horizontal) boxes on the pallets go to those things in the truck.There is one pic of the boards in one of those boxes.Just those 3 boards weigh almost 8 pounds,and there is no less than 75 of those boxes (600lbs).That does not include the boards from all of the computers,or the boards from the white things in the truck.The 2 gold pieces came out of one of the white things.

You got that right.Between the trailor and the truck I believe it's around 5000lbs total.The forklift that loaded the pallets was having a hard time.......but when they were loading pallets of regular PC's a couple of weeks ago,it had no problem.I have tandem 7K pound mobile home axles and tires on my trailor,and that thing was squatting hard all the way home.Not to mention my truck tires from those white things.BTW does anyone know what they are? I believe they are RF signal transmitters.
Oh I was way off on the estimate for the boards.....as we have been taking them down we are noticing that a lot of them have 4 expansion boards not 3,and every box has a square AMD 186 processor, and 188 memory.
Anyone want to buy them?Or everything? I really wish someone would just bring a box truck over here and buy everything I have,so I could get my yard and house back.

PM me about the 186's.
Good lord Jim you should see them all.Theres about 150-200 of them in different packages.I'll take off a few today,get some pics,and get them to you.I am also going to put some on our other site,but I'll let you and Kosmo look first. He wants to trade for some scrap,so I told him I'd let him have first look also.Besides....it's not like I'm going to run out of them... :mrgreen:
I finished stripping 2 pallets last night.I have roughly 425lbs of expansion boards,and 25 lbs of small backplanes.I still have 1 pallet to go.I'll add some pics in a little while.
 
Here they are.I have about 100 of each,with different codes.

Needless to say it's going to take me a while to remove them.......These are all of the expansion boards.There are also backplanes but I forgot to get a pic of those. :mrgreen:

No,I have some other stuff I had already started on,but got side tracked.I have about 30-40lbs of BGA's that I had planned on doing....but it will still be a while.
If anyone is interested in buying these boards,let me know with a price.I'll be selling a couple hundred pounds in the morning,but I'll have about 500-600lbs after that.
 
I was way off on my guess on weight.We have already taken 3 loads at just under 300lbs. and we are taking another one later today.And we haven't touched any of the boards in the white things yet. :mrgreen:
