Hey Hunter, I would absolutely love to grab 2 of those Serial Terminals to put to use (assuming they can fit in a car?). I'll also ask around the hackerspace to see if anyone else is interested.

Thanks for trying to find old hardware good homes.

I recently moved home to Louisiana. I am trying to sell my house in
Fishtown/Philadelphia.
I have a significant amount of antique/old computer hardware that I need to
give to somebody. I would prefer that it goes to somebody who would have
some sort of use for it rather than see it go to a scrapper.

What I have:

- 12+ Sun Sparc "pizza box" workstations. in various states, none
running. Sparc 5, 10 and 20 (not ultra sparc).
- 12+ HP-UX "pizza box" workstations.
- a lot (15+) of at/atx and rackmount PC cases. I was mainly planning
to use the sheet metal for robotics projects. it wasn't worth it to move
this stuff. Quite a number of 1u rackmount cases.

*Now what I really want to see go preferably to a hacker space/group *is
about *15+ AT&T/Teletype Hardcopy Serial Terminals*. These were bought new
in a lot from a US Military Auction. We have manuals, power cables and in
some cases cartridges. These are *really* cool and i would be very sad to
see them thrown away. These would be great for your twitter feed or daily
news printouts. but you can also hook up a serial keyboard to them (which
i don't have, you'd probably have to make your own) and use it as a serial
terminal. Mostly metal body, the last production line to bear the Teletype
Corp moniker. These could also be used by a mixed-media artist for a very
cool piece.

I will be in Philly March 16-21 and could meet somebody at the house to
load into their vehicle.

Thanks,
Hunter.
