It took me a long time to find a BA123, too. Cost me a bit of money at the
time as well. I've never seen them drop from the skies (but I have picked
up $50 MicroVAX I's in the past).
Something to consider with the BA123's is that
they're more than just a computer, they're also a small table..
...Mine has a LA75 and a VT420 sitting on top of it,
Beware of loading the top too heavily. My BA123 has a dent under one caster
because someone probably sat on the corner or did something else unnice to
it. I pounded it out as best I can, but that caster is still a couple
millimeters higher than the other three.

Before I forget, last week I saw a BA213 with a M9405 and three M9047
in it. The module database at <http://www.neurotica.com/dec-info/>
is down, it appears, and I can't find another link like it right now.
The unit was $20 at the UW-Madison (Wisconsin) surplus SWAP shop,
open Fridays 8 to 2.

I got lucky, my spare BA123 did basically drop from the sky along with a
Sigma chassis, and a bunch of other stuff. The Sigma Rackmount now houses
the MV3 that was in the BA123, and the BA123 is even more stripped than
when I got it. Still I have one that is all there now :^) and in a pinch I
can use the spare.
