I'm glad I got mine a few years ago... scarily enough, it's not my
most expensive -8 (my first -8/a would qualify, but that's because I
threw a KT8A, 128K MOS board and an RL8A in it at mid-1980s prices,
hundreds of dollars per board). I've driven plenty of cars that
cost less than that particular -8/a.
A pdp-8/S is
selling for $3,825. With prices like this who can afford
computer collecting
since all the 'kid you have free - if you carry it away' computers are
long gone?
Not a suprise - the 8/s is the second rarest of the -8 line (LINC-8 being
the most). They very rarely come on the market. I don't think a LINC-8 has
ever been on the market.
I certainly have never seen one available.
