Warringah Council is having a PC recycle this weekend and I plan on
taking the opportunity to dispose of some of my older systems.  In
case anyone wants them for parts, a rough list of what I'm throwing
out follows:

1 IBM 8513 11" monitor - takes a while to warm up but sort-of works
2 KTX 14" monitors - one OK, one dead
1 486DX2-50 VLB system - 32MB RAM, AHA-1542, DDS-2, no PSU/HDD/FDD
1 486DX-50 VLB system - 32MB RAM
1 DEC AlphaServer 400 - dead PSU.  160MB RAM
1 Athlon XP-1800 system -  GA-7VKML, 512MB RAM, fairly new PSU, no HDD.
1 DEC Multia - 128MB from memory

The 486DX2 has a leaking CMOS battery but both 486's may work.
The AS400 was working OK until the PSU switching transistors shorted.
The XP-1800 is unreliable.  I suspect the CPU has overheated at some stage.
The Multia has suffered badly from a leaking battery and the MB appears
to be a write-off.

Some small HDDs but these won't go out unless I manage to wipe them.

Let me know by Saturday morning if you're interested in any of this
or it's going out.
