TU56 and PDP-8/E available

After selling my collection I have a few pieces available that did not go. I also held some wishlist items aside. I received a lot of requests for a PDP-8/E and TU56 tape drives. I am not going to eBay these items and am hoping someone here wants to buy them. The PDP-8/E: Serial #722. Surface rust. Poor front panel (scratches and worn). I restored this mini to running condition and *really* don't want to spend the time repainting it and having a new front panel screened. The mini comes with: 4K core, M865 teletype interface. Full set of maintenance manuals. (all three) The TU56: Loaded, very nice and in great condition. Set up for PDP-8.Has the 5 G888 cards and an M961. This unit can easily be converted to PDP-11 by removing the G888s and placing them in the TC11, removing the M961 and adding the two TC11 cables. Serial #8045 - yes, that means 8045 unhappy customers and field service calls! The TC11 has been sold. Both are available for a decent offer. The going rate for a TU56 is about $1000. Best offer takes them. I am also selling some stuff *outside* the DEC world that was not part of my collection sale: HP21MX system, paper tape, disk controller, extenders, extra parts, internal DEC manuals. I think Jay West was interested in these. Data General Nova 3 manuals and books and software and spare boards. Cromemco S-100 - very heavy, 4 floppy drives, manuals. Built like a tank. Never turned on, I don't restore S-100 stuff. Victor Graphics S-100 with floppy drives. Same status as above. I have around 4 TM02/TM03 units I am scrapping. Pick up or I throw out. Please e-mail me off the list. dylanb(a)sympatico.ca http://www.pdp8.com/ john
