I assume you mean RL01 or Rl02 disks and packs as the RL11 is the

My very first PDP-11 was an 11/24 with 4 RL02 disks. It came from
Highlights Magazine and was one of my nicer systems. Sorry I ever
gave that one away.
And, every once in a while, I start to wonder what Highlights moved
to. Sadly, probably a PC.

Just when I thought eBay couldn't get much
stupider...
I went out to see if I could find a current going price for
PDP-11 Pedestal Boxes as I have a couple I would like to
cull from my collection. I came upon this:
DEC PDP 11/23 - BC needs Power Supply Repair, NO cards, Vintage DEC
History
$900.00
If it has no cards, what makes it a PDP-11/23 other than the paint
on the front cover? Dead PSU? Looks like a $900 backplane to me.
And that is making the assumption that the backplane is actually
usable. :-)

Pretty crazy, but I suppose some people are just fishing.
If someone is looking for an complete 11/73 system (2 RL11 drives,
several RL11 packs, etc), I have one in NW Indiana. It all ran fine when I
got it in the late '90s and has been stored in a controlled environment.
Make me an offer.
