Heck I'd be happy to see $50 for the same item. I've sold four of these for $25
to
$30 in the last three months, complete with hard drive.

Well, I could also imagine to pay for a C1P in case and
good condition 100 USD and up ...

Have you seen that only models that have a crack in the
main PCB are this worth ?

New subject: picked up PDP11/23
Just thought I'd let the list know what I got today
PDP 11/23 PLUS, with DECSTATION across the front.
RT01 on top, an RT02 on the bottom.
Serial number of the machine is 320 - pretty low :)
Fortunately, the friend I asked to help me pick it up (he has a wagon)
actually serviced these way back when (!) That was a stroke of luck. He
immediately parked the heads, removed the platters etc etc for me.
Also, a VT220 with what I'm told is a current loop connector on the back.
Now, to get the thing running... first I'll have to put a nail across the
circuit in my fusebox, as I can only run the dishwasher and heater... or the
TV and the microwave and the fan... or... you get the idea. The PDP cord is
10A, so I'm told :)

I'm confused. Do you mean RL01 and RL02? If not,
what on earth
No, I'M confused. RL01 and RL02 it is. D'oh.
I'm really hoping you're jokeing about the
nail. I'd recommend having the
Yeah of course I was joking. A thick safety pin should be all it needs.
I'm not daft.
As it turns out, my next door neighbour (who helped me pick up this thing)
used to service them all the time. And he's itching to do some work on this
one. So, everything will be done properly... he wants to clean it and
disassemble it before powering up; I think I'll let him have at it.
On a side note, he told me he used to have boxes and boxes of DEC
microfiche - sent to DEC personell only, containing all sorts of
troubleshooting, bug fixes, circuit info, etc etc. He said they were really
really good documentation on the DEC machines. Of course, probably thrown
out - but he may have some lying around at his Mom's place. That will be
interesting :)
I do have a couple of old magnetic tapes picked up the same time. Mostly
junk, I'd guess - but one has a VAX/VMS C compiler label, if anyone is
interested in that.
Cheers
