Having already inspected and turned down this junker be
it known that the
system doesn't work. I wasn't able to isolate the problem to the front
panel or the CPU but the boards didn't work. The 8/E chassis that went for
around $400 on Ebay was a better deal. Consider Keyways for PDP-8 boards as
well. I told Easy that the 8/f wasn't worth more than two or three hundred
tops.
That 8/e chasis went for $1300 this morning!

OK, the PDP8/f is in California. As i mentioned
before they want $600
for it. This is what it contains:
1 M8330
1 M8310
1 M8300
1 M837
1 M848
5 M1709
2 M8655 (NOT THE TWO LISTED BELOW)
1 M849
1 M8320
AND 1 DATARAM DR118 CORE MEMORY
I'm still dealing with them over the PDP8 boards I want to buy, which is
why i'm hesitant to mention the company at the moment.
