It's not uncommon and there are various reasons to do that, generally to lower the cost and/or the risk of running a business. It's just like many US companies are registered in the state of Delaware even though they really run their business elsewhere. If you look through their store, you'll find other items whose price and postage are both reasonable, so it just could be an oddball case of getting the asking price wrong. I guess you can always ask them if they really mean it. Also it starts getting tricky to ship individual items abroad from/to many places once you get above 20kg (~44lbs), and they say it (indirectly) in the description, stating that they'll use your carrier of choice.

Sadly this is on the wrong side of the pond. I would like to repair the one I have in any case. In fact, while I think I know the pinout of the F11 chips from a KDF11-A printset, can anyone confirm that pin 23 of the DIL package is the RESET signal? If that is correct then it is oscillating and resetting the machine constantly. I am trying to trace the source, but it seems to go through quite a few chips and I haven?t yet traced its source.

At that price I would expect a bit more information.. As it happens, I am trying to fix my 350 at the moment. Untested Pro 350's are like US$150-US$250 range on ebay typically. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-DIGITAL-EQUIPMENT-CORP-DEC-RAINBOW-PC350-I… <https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-DIGITAL-EQUIPMENT-CORP-DEC-RAINBOW-PC350-I-COMPUTER-FLOPPY-DISK/332562279306?epid=583415379&hash=item4d6e41ab8a:g:qR0AAOSw9NBafMjq:sc:FedExHomeDelivery!80602!US!-1:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true> &hash=item4d6e41ab8a:g:qR0AAOSw9NBafMjq:sc:FedExHomeDelivery!80602!US!-1:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true OK, not really a Rainbow, but that's the term to search for if you want to buy one cheap. This one is $99. Warner
