Hello everyone,

Sad news. :( The Goodwill Computer Museum is shutting down and getting rid of their whole collection. There's a complete Onyx rackmount system with RE2 (in a Power Challenge chassis) that was being restored. It'll get recycled unless one of y'all would like it.

Relevant Threads:


No idea on the functional status, but the system has been kept indoors, stationary for about 10 years.

Available for pick up in Austin, Texas (or you can pay for LTL shipping). DEADLINE FOR INQUIRIES: TUESDAY, MARCH 17th

They're shutting down?? They've got some nice pieces there. I hope some of the local collectors can get them before they go to scrap!

Maybe you could arrange for delivery, or rent a pickup truck. Would be a great system for a first timer :p

If you get no takers and it's going to recycling, I'd be interested in the RE2 boards.

Argh, I'm very sorry to hear that, you seemed to have a very nice thing going for you!

I sincerely hope this will be a controlled shut down and that other museums will get a chance first.

Otherwise, please please, send me your PDP-8/s (I'm serious)

Question along with kev009 - what's up with the rest of the collection? I have contacts in Austin that I can activate if there is other stuff available.

Sadly, an Onyx would be too much to handle...

I'm simply too far away and simply too broke at the moment to help you with anything and I'm sure you've already been swarmed with offers and requests for most of it.

Thank y'all for the quick responses. Totally understand the distance issue.

The rest of the collection is being sold via the Goodwill eBay account:

Many items have sold already, others are being added almost daily. Keep an eye on it!
