Ie: 3 PDP-11/35s for
$6-7K
minimum.I
don't think you want to know what Classic-11s (pre 11/20) sell
Err, and just what _production_ PDP11s are pre-11/20??
Gordon Bell had 300 "PDP-11" minicomputers made that were *slightly*
different from the PDP-11/20. Most 11/20 boards are rev "A". I will list soo
the differences - most had to do with the UNIBUS.. but there was some
changes to the datapaths as well.

Price is of course based
on
rarity. I
think *every* PDP-11/34 was shipped with RL01s ;-)
Not always, at least not to non-collectors.
Sometimes, price is based on utility. People will pay a lot for something
they really need, especially if it's for real work. I know of people
who've got serious money for things like IBM MDA monitors, simply because
they were needed for some expensive instrument that happened to have an
MDA output and where you can't simply drop in a different video card.
