Hi howdy all-
It's been a while since I've done any interesting scrapping, but I thought I would post a couple pictures of (and ask a few questions about) what turned out to be a rather large lot of electronic equipment I purchased recently. It was one of those cases where I wasn't actually supposed to win the lot, but someone else forgot to outbid me. Whoops. Sometimes lowballs work.
First, the main picture from the auction lot- a mid-90s IBM mainframe:
I'll becoming with a trailer for that on Thursday. But that's not all- there were two more smallish truckloads of boxes, bits and pieces. You obviously can't really tell what's going on here except that I really wanted to make sure I didn't have to make a fourth trip:
I won't list everything here, but there were a few old routers, a box of desktop 7400 modems, about 50 digital telephones, a whole bunch of computer and telecom cables (I'll post some more pictures later), some spare telecom boards and a few of whatever these things are:
According to the labels this is an Avaya "PPN to EPN Duplex" gizmo (product id 107998). I haven't found much about these online- I'm thinking they are obsolete and not resell-able. Anyone know if this is true? I noticed jimicrk posted a picture of a stack of what looked like the boards of these things and called them PBX back planes. I'm pretty inexperienced with telecom equipment- would you recommend chopping into this thing and isolating the board? I've already put a few items (mostly cables) up on Ebay, but frankly, I don't want to waste my time with this thing if I don't have to.
Many thanks for any advice, and I'll post a few more pictures of stuff soon.
Thanks and cheers,
thebugguy
