Greenweld, an electronics surplus company in the UK,
is currently advertising war-surplus microvax IIs
for sixty quid each. They're being sold for parts only.
NOTE: THESE MACHINES HAVE NO HARD DISK, although there's
an RQDX3 in the box. The one
I got had an RX33 floppy. It also had a deqna, six megs of
memory, and four KMV11s (some sort of uP-controlled serial
line). They're advertised as having eight megs of memory,
but I'm not going to quibble at the price.
Greenweld are at

As they're being sold essentially for scrap value, the
machines are sent by parcel post, and are apt to arrive a
bit dented :-).
I have no connection with Greenweld, other than the fact that
I'm a complete junk-hound.
