OK, so this is a pretty dumb question, but what is the
'value' of a

PDP8/A's appear to be the least valuable. The original PDP-8 and 8/S

Original 8 with a discs and DECtape sold for well over 10K within the
past few years.
If you want something with lights and paddle switches, an 8/E with a
usable mass-storage device and full compliment of memory will be on
the order of 2K
