Cool! I'm a pioneer, having collected these things for close to 25 years.
Well, I'm not sure I would call it collecting in the normal sense of the
word. I want to keep these machines running, useable, and in use.
Guess that's why Magica exists (even though she's not powered on right
now), along with the other machines at the same site.

What exactly
is it about that machine that makes you say that?
How does it differ from any other (similarly well-preserved)
PDP-11/70?
(FWIW: I don't know either the seller or Jim Willing; I'm just curious).
Jim Willing was one of the pioneers in this computer collecting hobby
(I apply pioneers to those of us that were doing this seriously over
ten years ago - before this list, and before there even was a hobby).
