Holy gods of computing! I just spotted a PDP8/e system thats available!
Its at times like this, that I really wish I had a working car... Ah well,
I'll have to convince some local friends to help me out. I REALLY want
a working PDP8/e...

Woohoo! Good luck getting it home, and be sure to let us all know what's in
it and whether or not you can get it to come up & be sociable!

I'll see what it takes to get that cpu unit at the very least.

Uhhhh...looks like TWO MORE pdp8 cpus in that left rack? Aren't those 8/a
front panels; the ones that look like an 11/34 KY11-LB but mount on the top
5.25" of the chassis instead of the bottom?

Even now, rabid PDP-8 collectors are triangulating using message
transimission time to narrow their search of your immediate vicinity :-)
Congrats, let us all know what you get with it (and don't tell me a working
DECTape drive or I'll turn lime green with envy! :-)

By now you're probably looking at what I saw... I dont recognize most of
the stuff in those 2 racks, unfortunately.
I suppose it wouldnt take John Keys much time at all to figure out
where that jpg came from.

Good Luck with it , I have NO idea were it is and my storage is getting LOW.
Thanks for thinking of me if you need help. John and you are in the
Twincities (MN) area.
