 Yes.  Nice.

  I got mine from "thom
restivo"<trestivo at tarinc.com>
 back in 2004. At the time he said he had more boards. Found a TU10 to go
 with it in 2007.

I'm afraid that Thom went out of business quite a few years ago and
sold his warehouse full of DEC equipment.  I never found out who
bought him out.  I enjoyed visiting and crawling through the place
though.
