VAX-11/750 registry (Was: Reviving a VAX-11/750)

I was wondering along those lines myself earlier this morning... I am thinking, regardless of how many may have originally been produced, I bet if you gathered up all the VAXen in the hands of collectors now; big and small; bussed and bus-less, I bet you'd end up with only a few hundred machines, tops, including those of us with multiples :O I'm curious exactly how accurate that perception is... maybe I'm way off? The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned :O
