There are quite a few PDP8 owners/enthiasts here.
I've got an 8/e with
32K words of core, RX01, TU56 and PC04 on my desk. I've also got an 8/a
upstairs somewhere, but it's got the 8/e CPU board set in it, not the
hex-height 8/a CPU board. I am told that was a stnadard variant.
Three 8/e systems (the "big one" has an RX01, TU56, 2xRK05, and a
hacked HP optical PTR), an 8/m, and an SBC6120 here.
I'm STILL looking for an 8/a and STILL can't seem to get my hands on
one. I have the same problem with the Heath H-89...despite the fact
that they're not particularly rare or sought-after, and opportunities
keep popping up, they keep slipping through my fingers...sold or given
to someone else at the last minute, owner disappeared, etc etc. Very
frustrating.
