1) Are there any complete PDP-6s anywhere at all?
Not that I'm aware of, though I can think of a couple places that might.
2) Does the Computer History Museum in Mountain View
have any PDP-6 artifacts?
They are one of the places that I'm thinking might have a -6, or at
least parts of one.
3) Are the stories about the Boston Computer Museum
receiving a
complete PDP-6 and then chopping it up to sell as gifts truth or
urban legend?
I don't know if it was a -6, but it was something historically
important, and to the best of my knowledge the answer is yes.
4) Does any PDP-6 software still exist, especially
PDP-6 ITS ? (I
haven't found any on Bitsavers, so I'm guessing the answer is "no")
Again, not that I'm aware of, and I'm pretty sure I'd be aware of this.
5) Does anyone have any PDP-6 stories they'd like
to share with the group?
I'm hoping #5 spurs on some good discussion.

You'd most likely get better answers to these questions on alt.sys.pdp10.
