Oops. It was what came up when I searched for "D5 lubricant". I tried to

Maybe "Deoxit D5" is the wrong stuff. Anyway the good thing is that the

Come one come all!
Its the day of reckoning.
I finally have some storage on loan from a company called Funsoft!

These fans make too much noise for my home office area, and I cannot
possibly need the original airflow. Even with the internal jumper set
for 10V to power the 12V rated fan motor, these are still noisy. It's
Very surprised no one took any guesses at what PDP-11 boxes were in those
pictures.
But in any case, a listmember has stepped forward to go investigate onsite
and perhaps claim them.
