Vintage Digital DEC 3000/600 Model PE42A-BA Workstation 

For sale- a Vintage Digital DEC 3000/600 Model PE42A-BA Workstation as pictured.  It does NOT power up.  I have a number of vintage NeXT computers listed, those have to be told to power up from the keyboard, so I guess it is possible that is the case here.  But I can’t make heads or tails of the various I/O connections on the back of the computer so I am reluctant to try adding a keyboard to the mix.  So unless I figure that out the sale will remain for parts or repair and no returns will be accepted.

The power supply looks pretty modular to me so if that is the problem it might be easier to replace than repair.  Also please note that the case has now been cleaned as shown in the first two pictures.  It's not perfect but it's a lot better than it was.

On the inside the presumably original hard drive is still installed, but my expectation would be that it has been wiped clean.  All of the memory slots, 16 by my count, are full as you can see in the pictures.  It’s a shame I can’t get it to power up because I have a DEC monitor with three BNC inputs for RGB and the cable to go between them.  If you want that cable please ASK FOR IT at the time of purchase and I will be happy to include it.

All items are sold as is with no warranty offered unless one is specifically stated.  Any testing done will be explicitly stated in the listing and any accessory items will also be mentioned or pictured.  If it isn’t pictured or mentioned you can assume it is not part of the sale.

Please check out my other listings for more interesting vintage computer equipment.  More DEC to come.  Check back often!

Please add a $38.99 flat rate for shipping anywhere in the continental US (which does NOT include Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam or APO/FPO addresses).  I will ship via the carrier and level of service of my choice unless we specifically decide on a favored carrier option.  I will, at my option, ship worldwide via USPS for the actual cost as determined by USPS.com.

If the item being sold here requires a standard modular computer style AC cord I no longer ship those automatically on the theory that everyone has a box full of them already.  If you need one all you have to do is ask and it will be included in the sale.  IF you do NOT ask for one until after the item ships it is no longer part of the sale and I will not ship one separately.
