economy, who knows.
I don't know. $1000 seems a bit steep for an 11/45. Especially one in
unknown condition and with front panel switches busted off.
Perhaps so, but maybe someone will save it from the metal scrapper, or maybe
this guy will come down in price. I don't really want to get in the middle
of this,
but I hate seeing another machine get taken apart even more... I think that
it is
actually a bit fortunate that the front panel is damaged. It means that it
won't be
removed for the quick $100+ that they seem to bring on ebay, all by themselves.
The 11/45 is a very important machine in the DEC 11 lineup. It is the
oldest with
split I/D, which means that it can run some pretty significant software.
Do any service manuals come with it?
If Al doesn't have copies, I do...
