So THATS why you didn,t get back to me about a trade for the DECtape drive.
Now you want a grand for it. Interesting how one person says a TU56 is worth a
$1000 and now its law. Its only worth $1000 if someone pays you a $1000. Good
luck...

Ok, i finally found the guy at his office (we work for
the same department
here at the university ;) and had a chat. Looks liek he might try to get
me the pdp8/e cpu (without any boards) and the boards if he can find the
box that they are in.
This leaves 2 RK05's and a Dectape unit.. is anyone willing to pay a
reasonable amount, AND pick this stuff up in minneapolis, AND do it
pretty quickly? I know Dectape units are worth about $1000, so this
is a worthwile thing to get if you have teh space for it (the curse
of working for the university, is that they dont pay me enough to
be able to afford the space for all thsi stuff)...
If you want this, speak up and i'll go see what i can arrange with
him. i want the cpu, and boards if they are found (my 8/e has no
interface boards, and front panel is damaged, and power cable is
cut, as you might recall...)
