Be aware people are telling him his system is probably worth about $1000.
I have seen other 8's go for more on Ebay but I don't recall which model.

I know it is the year 2020 but nevertheless what
are my chances of
finding
a complete and repairable DEC PDP-8/E or as a
second choice a PDP-8/I ?
Is there any hope or should I be just content with my SIMH based
PiDP-8/I?
Thanks

informed and straightforward feedback much appreciated.
