Do these have front panels with lights and switches? We've been interested in
getting one to play with, but a collector's web page I saw seemed to indicate
there were versions of the PDP-8/e without operators panels as well. What all
would be required to make a "complete" system? (And what are the power
requirements? So far, my biggest machine is the IMSAI 8080 I built years
ago...)

Many of you may remember a small haul of Digital

that Jim Willing had sniffed out. Well, things have changed a bit...
It turns out there are _five_ systems in six racks (one processor may have
missing parts), with all sorts of extra stuff (EAE, RX02s, expansion
boxes, boatloads of core, etc.). Jim is getting one system, and I am
getting another, still another is probably spoken for, but rest are up for
grabs.
The price?
$200 gets you as much of a system as you want - CPU only, or an entire
rack. In addition, Jim and I will need some help moving the stuff (located
in Charleston, West Virginia), mostly in the money department. I may need
to drive down to get the stuff in a rental truck (we take it all, or we
take none, thus we will need a truck) next week, or, as a back up plan,
Jim will look into shipping the stuff with a freight company. To be fair,
I must warn anyone that their share of initial shipping (getting them to
one of my storage locations) may be over $50.
