There's one in the Science Museum (London) collection. It appeared in
Tim Hunkin's "Secret Life of Machines" TV series a few years ago.
I missed the context of this, but that grabbed my attention. Is it actually
*at* the Science Museum - or out at Wroughton? I only recently found out that
all the large stuff is kept off-site there and can be visited by prior
arrangement; I must go for a wander around sometime...
cheers

When I saw it, and when Tim Hunkin filmed it, it was in the old canteen
behind the Science Museum. Right next to the Pegasus and the Elliott
803, in fact (both also shown by Tim Hunkin). Nowadays, the Pegasus
is in the main museum, but I don't know where the PDP-12 is.
There's a Classic PDP-8 at Wroughton. Wroughton's worth a visit
on one of the regular open days. I think there's a calendar of
open days on the museum web site:

Oh, and Tim Hunkin can be found here:
