Looking for old control system hardware

[frcguy]

I am working on an off-season project and am in need of a control system. The main things I need are a PDB/PDP and a cRio/IFI control system. I'll take anything I can get, no matter the year or age. I would prefer not to pay a whole lot (<$100), and if you are just getting rid of it I am happy to pay shipping. Shoot me a PM if you have anything! Thanks in advance.

I can get you a PDB.

I can probably get you a pair of the old IFI boards and radio, we hoard stuff like that for just such an occasion. You are close enough to drive up and check out our shop maybe? If you get back to me by the afternoon I could probably bring it to the Maker Faire tomorrow.

Thanks everyone! I've got it all sorted.

One more thing. I have the IFI controller set (thanks Devin!) but I need the radio set and cables for the radio. If anyone has those please PM me. I am happy to pay shipping. Your help is appreciated.

The radio cables are just male to female serial cables.
You will also need a tether cable to tether the two radios. (you plug it into the operator interface and the robot controller, but it's just tethering the radios) It looks like a female to female serial cable, but the only ones that seem to work are the red cables that were provided with the system.
We have a box full of radios and old control systems (as well as 2 '09 driver stations) but we plan to use them to resurrect some of our older robots during our fall workshops.
If you have any questions, feel free to message.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm still looking for the radio for the IFI Controller set. If you have one you want to let go of, please PM me! At this point I would be fine paying some money for it if you wish. Thanks!
