I have received a lot of feedback about desirable DEC PDP-8 models.
Here is my updated list of PDP-8 models I would be interested in buying:
PDP-8/F
PDP-8/E
PDP-8/L
PDP-8/I
PDP-8/M
I am also interested in buying a "Spare Time Gizmos" SBC6120 based computer
complete with front-panel and IO board. I would be happy to buy the
original un-built kit or the fully built computer.
I have spent the past 18 years focusing on my old love affair with CDC 6000
and CYBER series mainframes (see http://control-data.info/) but have fallen
in love again with the PDP-8 after exploring the architecture using Oscar's
PiDP-8/I based on a Raspberry Pi running SIMH.
Best regards

I know it is the year 2020 but nevertheless what are
my chances of finding
a complete and repairable DEC PDP-8/E or as a second choice a PDP-8/I ?
Is there any hope or should I be just content with my SIMH based PiDP-8/I?
Thanks
