Christmas is coming.  And for many of you, Santa just entered the building.  I'm cleaning out here folks.  And a bunch of stuff is heading to the door.  I need to make room for a re-work of the hamshack.  Without exception, the price is the same for everything--FREE!  If you feel guilty about getting perfectly good stuff for nothing, then send in a donation to the ARRL.  Contact me privately if interested.  The garbage truck arrives on Monday, so speak up if you want stuff.

5 computers.  These are typically 450MHz with 8meg - 16meg or more of ram with windows loaded.  They have sound cards, CDRom support, floppy, keyboard, network support.  We used these for Field Day the last few years and networked them together.  I'm keeping the 17" monitors but the PCs are what they are.  They have not been butchered.  Double your money back guarantee.

HP 7570A "D" sized pen plotter.  Put a D sized paper into it and print multi-color blue prints.  There is a driver for Win 98 on any Windows disk.  A box of spare pens, a pen carosel, etc.  On a floor mount stand on rollers.

Motorola Technical Manuals.  Typically FM gear.  Mostly Micor, some Motrac  14" thick stack of stuff.
GE Technical Manuals.  Most manuals are marked "progress line" but other stuff in the pile too.  8" - 10" stack of stuff.

National Semiconductor Data Books.  There must be 25 dark blue books on the shelf.
Texas Instruments Data Books.  There must be 20 yellow books on the shelf.
Motorola Semiconductor Data Books.  I count over 40 light blue books on the shelf.
MaCom RF Data Books.  I count about 10 very thick data sheet books.
Agilent Semiconductor Data Books.  
Maxim Data Books (many)
RF Microdevices Data Books (many)
Minicircuits Data Books (several)
Hewlett Packard Data Books.  About 2' stack of them.
Phillips Semiconductor Data Books.  Roughly 2' stack of them.
Harris Semiconductor Data Books
Avantek Data Books.
Signetics, Dallas, Fairchild, Comlinear, Intersil, and a bunch more.

There are 4 shelves of data books, each shelf is 6' to 8' long, stacked with data books.  The emphasis is on RF components, as above plus Sawtek, Toko, Beldon, and a host of others.  About 1/3 of the Motorola data books relate to 68HC11 and 68HC05 (705) processors, but these are only a few books--the vast majority is RF stuff.  This was a very expensive library at one point--figure $10 to $15 / book times hundreds of them.  And it's going into the dumpster on Monday.

Several versions of Visual Basic in original Microsoft boxes.
Borland C++ in original box.
Lotus 123 in original box
Windows ME (unused in original box)

I would prefer local pickup as packing and dealing with all this stuff is heavy.  At this price, the dumpster approach is the least labor intensive for me.
