Now, now. I have one. At one point it was working almost perfectly. I
had to fix
one board and figure out a terminal interface for it, until I got lucky
later and scored
a current-loop interface board.
I had to reform the capacitors in the power supply at one point, after
blowing out
the big bridge rectifier.
I don't see that it would be worse (or better) than anything else of that
vintage.
At one point it was working just fine. Currently it is mostly working, but
will not boot -- but I don't have time to fix it right now.

I suppose this means you don't want your
PDP8's now. Right?
Au Contraire mon ami! It means now I need a PDP-12 to put the whole together :-) Not that its all that likely that
I'll find a -12. Still
Well, if ever you do manage to find one, I have all the prints,
engineering drwings, module schematics, etc for the PDP12/TU55/VR12. No,
I am not giving them up, but if anyone is crazy [1] enough to attempt a
restoration on one of these machines then I'd be happy to look things up,
etc.
[1] Being crazy is a Good Thing, of course.
