sure you could get all of that for under a grand these days, but it's

I've got an OEM 11/73, with (mostly) OEM cards, originally built by
Baydel. It's got a couple of ST506 drives, probably about 30M each, and
two RL02s plus a spare drive, and about a dozen carts. There's quite a
lot of interesting software.
I suspect I got a good deal - it cost me a 19" Sun monitor and some
beer. Any idea how much that's worth? As far as I can tell, it's about
as good a PDP-11 system as you're going to get into the back of a large
hatchback...
