Denys asks us old-timers...

> 1- What was the original purchase price of a 7925?

Too damned much, but I think it was around US$18,000.00 or in the ballpark.

> 2- How much did the 7933 really weigh?

Again, too damned much --- it was the size of a dishwasher - and it was a
top-loader too! <g>

> 3- The 7925 and 7933 were quite similar in size, I also think
> the weighed
> about the same.  How much did the 7925 weigh?

They were virtually the same cabinet, except that the 7933 had a keypad on
the front, whereas the 7925 merely had the on/off switch.

> 4- I remember that the disc packs were about $1,000 each.  Can anyone
> confirm or infirm that?

Yes and actually, they were more than that originally.  The price, if I
remember correctly, was about $1,250.00 per pack.

I'm sure I'll get corrected if I misspoke here <g>

Best Regards,
Joe
