A tenth the price of the Twiggy Lisa makes that
auction look almost
affordable! Final price was $5600.
Yeah, whoever bought that got, IMO, a pretty good deal (as I predicted). It's
a fair amount of money, but they got a _ton_ of stuff (probably literally :-).
I mean, look what's included (with rough guesses as the value):
$600 H960 rack
$600 H960 rack
$400 RK05 drive
$600? RK03 drive
$700? RK11-C controller
$2000 PDP-8/F
$2000 PDP-11/05
$?? GT40 display hardware
$400 BA11-F with ?? inside
%? Teletype
------
$7300
Some of the things are so rare (e.g. the RK03 and RK11-C) I don't have any
comparables (RK11-D's go for $500 or so, FWTW); and on the GT40 I have no
idea whatsoever. (This one doesn't have the usual GT40 display, but a
rack-mounted VRxx?)
Still, it's pretty clear that whoever bought this got a deal. And I haven't
even included the packs ($30 each, another $900 or so), all the Grass analog
gear, etc, etc.
