what a working PDP 8f is worth, or until which amount it isn't
a compleete rip off.
Recently on eOverpay, a friend of mine got over $400 for an as-is,
not guaranteed to do more than not smoke PDP-8/L with no peripherals,
software or docs.
AFAIK at least two disk, fro 8" floppy and
one tape drive is included (no idea about the types, since I'm
no DEC-o-maniac at all).
The types make all the difference if someone wants a "real" price as
opposed to a "haul it away" price. If I had to guess, I'd expect that
it had a pair of RK05's, an RX01 and a TS03. It's only a guess, but
it's a somewhat typical pure-DEC system. There's the possibility of
third party stuff at any turn.
What would I pay for it? Not more than a few hundred. Of course, that
means that many others would no doubt snatch it out from under me, but
them's the breaks. I'm not going to pay $1000+ for an -8.
