Your chances are excellent, depending on your budget. I have two ?8e?s, a straight 8, and
a vt270. Each has issues: the 270 won?t boot, nor will the 8e?s (they have 8? floppies
either rx02 or rx01?s, vt100/ 101?s, asr 33,35, and 32?s), and the straight 8 comes up
with all zeros every eighth memory address location. The asr33 is DEC modified..
Best regards,

?I know it is the year 2020 but nevertheless what are my chances of finding
a complete and repairable DEC PDP-8/E or as a second choice a PDP-8/I ?
Is there any hope or should I be just content with my SIMH based PiDP-8/I?
Thanks
