[rescue] HP2117 (aka HP 1000/F) for sale

[Gary Sloane]

I have 3 HP1000 machines, all model 2117, that are apparently complete 
except for the floating point unit (which is a separate box). They are in 
excellent cosmetic condition, all switches appear to work (not 
borken'jammed. They all have the minimal board complement (memory and 
controller, motherboard, IEEE488, comm) and extra loader roms. These units 
are UNTESTED and have NOT been powered up (I had a pallet of 8; built up one 
for myself and have sold most of the rest). If you're interested, here's 
your options:

1. TRADE ME FOR SOMETHING COOL!!!

I am looking for: DEC and HP paper tape reader/punch; core memory stacks; 
vacuum tube computing stuff; the monitor to a Corvus Concept (I need two); 
Sun-2 systems.

2. GIVE ME A TAX WRITEOFF!

If you are a qualified 501 C 3 *and* you are a computer museum or education 
institution, I'd consider donating one. If you're a private collector who 
happens to also be a minister, don't ask.

3.  BUY IT FOR CASH: Make me an offer.
