  be able to dig
up an RX50 for it as well. 
Let me add a data point, lest Randy or others be left with the idea that
ebay prices are universal. Last month I bought an 11/73 for $5; the zeros
came *after* the decimal point. 
and I am picking up:

2 Honeywell 316 systems with 4 (I repeat) 4 - PDP 11/05s with 2 RK05 on
each) - FOR FREE!

Either:

1- Straight 8 with full docs or 1- IBM 360 for $200.

I don't think I'll sell any of them for less than $1000.

Just because we get something for $5 or free does not mean they are *worth*
that. (and I'm not even talking EBay dollars!)
