  Hi Ethan,

 Good luck, I've scoured the Flea Market twice (once on Friday and once
 today) and there just ain't any DEC stuff here. 
Not much at all.  I spotted a few uVAX 2000's and a uVAX 3100.

...
  I did find a PDP-8 core stack but it was in a display
case at my friends
 office where we got some free tickets (sigh.) 
Ugh.

...
  I did pick up some Nifty LCDs though for $7 that
I'm going to use to create
 a "disk bay console" ala the Linux stuff. 
I'm very familiar with them; I wrote the LCDProc driver for the B.G.Micro
"PIC-an-LCD" serial<->LCD adapter chip.  From the white tent in the back
corner of the flea market, I got a box of 20x2 florescent displays for $20
(different protocol, same concept as the LCDs).

If you want to write offline about interfacing LCDs, let me know.
