Was it really that few? I know that some of the older 12-bit machines
were made in small quantities (like ~1000 -8/Ses), but I had no idea
that one could count LINC-8s in dozens.
I do need
your help for the purpose of the restoration of a LINC-8, Serial#
4. This systems is not my own property but is belonging to the Museum of the
University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Bavaria.
I have a gutted LINC-8 as well, and also need buckets of modules.
Luckily the core stack remains. With your three machines I know of four survivors :)
And have a hunch
were there are at least one more.
Are you including the ones that Charlie Lasner has?

I visited him about 15 years ago and saw at least one of them, along
with a whole lot of other stuff I'd never seen anywhere else (and I
own several intact R-series-logic machines - sorry... no pile of
module spares; I wish I did have extras).
