[comp.unix.wizards] Help needed restoring old computer system

MCGUIRE%GRIN2.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.EDU (04/23/87)

I'll be deeply indebted to any person who can provide me with the following
information.  UNIX-WIZARDS was suggested to me by someone who said `a lot
of them are old Digital Equipment Co. hackers who may be able to provide
some leads.'

I am restoring a vintage-1974 Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11 based
graphics system, including the following components:

  Digital PDP-11/10 (`decgraphic 11/10')
  CalComp 565 plotter
  Teletype 33 TU (ASR) hardcopy terminal
  Digital VT05 video terminal
  Digital VT50 video terminal
  GT42 display system, including VT11 graphics co-processor

I am looking for parts sources for all of these components.  Among other
things, I need connectors and cables, a light pen for the GT42, several
parts for the terminals (in fact, I'd like to find junk terminals to scrap
for parts), and accessories for the plotter.

Do you know of another `decgraphic' system?  Do you know of _software_ for
a `decgraphic' system?

Also, I'd love to hear from you if you are interested in `antique'
equipment.

Please reply to me directly, as I am not on UNIX-WIZARDS.
