If you cycle the pictures with the little arrow at the right and then
pick the photo of the two RK05s... I'm guessing that the seller is not
the person who carefully stored this system over the years.

Personally it looks to me as if the seller is very
clueful, especally if
they get the manual pic's up. I don't see anywhere, where they're listing
RK05's as tape drives, though I do see a DECcassette drive. They say a
picture is worth a thousand words, and those pic's sure speak a lot! I
wish I had room for and could afford that system!
The eBay page above has the following link
http://www.fibraplex.com/PDP8/ultimate_pdp.htm that will be of more
interest to people, especially as the auction is currently sitting at
$1200.00. And before anybody starts screaming about that price, from what
I'm seeing in the pic's that's not to bad of a price if it's a working
system (and it sounds like it should be).
