I've tried dealing with these folks in the past. It's a wonder they're
still in business. The conversation goes something like:
Me: I'm interested in XYZ
CP: I'll have to go to the warehouse to see if we have it in
stock. I'll call you back when I know something.
...and I would never get a call back. Repeated calls would just end in
a loo (ie same response and no progress).

I just found this whilst doing a mostly unrelated search:

dcpolPlistCKIE:DEC++++CATEGORY
If I'm reading this right, these guys have:
(1) PDP 11/23 @ US$695
(1) VAX 11/730 @ US$995
(3) VAX 11/750 @ US$295 each
(2) PDP 11/84 @ US$1,307.12 each
...and a plethora of other DEC gear. There's also some HP1000 series
peripherals and lots of other stuff. Might be worth looking into.
$268 for a HP 7440 plotter!! $400 for a HP88140 1/4" tape!!!!! You gotta
be joking! I've passed up HUNDREDs of these in trash pliles! All their
prices seem to be like that. This place is about an hour from me and I've
heard of them but no one that i've talked to can deal with them and their
greedy prices.
