The types make all the difference if someone wants a
"real" price as
opposed to a "haul it away" price. If I had to guess, I'd expect that
it had a pair of RK05's, an RX01 and a TS03. It's only a guess, but
it's a somewhat typical pure-DEC system.
My guess would be a TU56 (DECTape) drive rather than TS03, but again,
we're just guessing :-).
Reminds me of the apocryphal story of the old lady who's son died in
a hunting accident. She calls up a local car dealer, and asks how much
her son's car might be worth. Dealer asks her what the car is, and she
replies "a '67 Chevy". The dealer says that such an old car probably
isn't worth much more than $100 on today's market, so she puts an ad
in the paper and sells the car right away, for $100.
Of course, the buyer was very happy with his purchase, for it turned out
this '67 Chevy was a finely-preserved Corvette Stingray!
