Old DEC/Sun Video cables from late 1980s/early 90s

Sept. 7, 2023

      Hey all:

This isn't necessarily a Linux-related post so apologies up front, but
this seemed like a good forum in case someone has old computer hardware
and is looking for such things, or knows someone in such a situation.

I've come across a cache of old video cable from about 30 years ago,
Sun and DEC cables (and one Apple cable).  They might be difficult to
obtain now.  I'm not trying to sell these cables; ideally I'd like to
get them into the hands of some historian trying to keep their old
computer hardware working.

Thanks; list of cables follows:

6x 13W3/M-to-13W3/M cables, two of them Sun-branded and four generic.
    Since the non-sun cables were found in the same box as the sun video
    cables I assume they're all sun-compatible.

4x 13W3/M-to-4BNC/M Sun video cables.  Two still bagged, all
    Tatung-branded.  Tatung once manufactured of "Generic" (i.e., less
    expensive) Sun UltraSPARC hardware.

4x LCC17/M-to-3BNC/M DEC-branded BC29G-09 video cables, for some sort of
    Vax- or DECStation monitors.

2x DB15/F-to-3BNC/M DEC-branded BC23J-03 video cables, for some sort of
    Vax- or DECstation.  These two are in somewhat rough shape.

1x 13W3/M-to-DA15/M Apple video connector, for Apple Mac-2 or Quadra
    machines of the late 1980s.
