Subject: value of RK05
I'm wondering of anyone knows whatthe value of an
RK05 would be? I'm
thinking
of buying a rack full of stuff in order to get the
parts i want, and then
sell of the rest. As i'll be getting a pair of RK05's for free with the
PDP-11/45 system I'm getting for free, if I was to get 2 more RK05's I
cant see needing that many...
RK05s go for around $500 each *restored*. A restored PDP-11/45 is about
$7000 to $9000 depending on config. A system is generally worth a lot more
with RK05s or RX02s installed
Also, is it next to impossible to get the rx8e needed to hook the Rk05's
to a PDP8/e?
It's RK8E, and yes, they are next to impossible to find - especially the
cable.
