This has nothing to do with the 1401 but it was fun to watch

The Computer History Museum  bought the current building back in the early 1990s.
The building came complete with an electrical system that could provide backup power to the servers SGI had in what is now the 1401  room.

Withe the remodel, all of the controls of the backup power were removed and stored on the loading dock.

A buyer was found to buy the control equipment and the 7,000 pound diesel generator located in the back parking lot.

A representave from the company and a crane showed up this afternoon to collect all of the items.

John showed up with his heavy duty trailer

Paul showed up with his do anything crane

Dennis Vassar showed up to help lift the generator off the ground

Go Dennis, go!

She is down on the trailer

Dennis added the 2,000 pound power conditioner to the load.

The generator is going to Petaluma to be cleaned up and checked out by the company that bought it.
Then it will be installed at a winery who will use it for backup power.
