Are those models all cardboard? I thought they were plastic for a lot of
the models (although honestly I've only known about them for a few years).
I could have sworn I saw a P1000 or some such set sell for a few hundred or
low hundred on ebay which was in the months following the several thousand
dollar one that sold but was some other system (ok the $5000 was a UNIVAC
model).
see was what I think was plastic not cardboard. Still awesome though!
lol.. I can't see playing with toy cars but I'd still be giddy to have a
mini vintage server room on my desk.

sorry to disappoint you Adrian, but I also have a 17
pieces P1000
cardboard setup. I also have a 2-page (four A4 sides) leaflet that
describes the system (in Dutch), and a (very) old photograph of
the system. It looks in perfect shape, no discoloring due to age.
However, my main interest is my PDP-11 collection, so I am always
looking for funds to improve my collection ... What would a 17-piece
cardboard set be worth? I might want to sell it !
