That's a lot to pay for a box that might have nothing in it at all.
At best, it's a third part QBUS box.

The ad says it weighs 150#? That box is heavy, but is not a 150# item.?
I suspect there is more to it.? There seems to be cables
going out of the back, perhaps to something else for the instrument.
thanks

Further comment. Notice the difference in height compared to a standard
DEC box of that style. Also notice he is holding up the #150 box with his
fingers. Remind me never to arm wrestle that guy.
Personally, I don't think it is a DEC system at all.

The ad actually says "IF WEIGHT IS OVER 150 POUNDS THERE WILL BE A CHARGE
FOR LIFTGATE OR RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY "
not that it does weigh that much.

Quite possible. After all, he advertised it as "Digital Instruments" which is a
valid company name different from Digital Equipment.

The DIGITAL logo is visible on the inset portion of the panel next to the
switches (it is a bit blurry). Further, this matches up with Mattis's
picture quite nicely.
It's an interesting shade of blue, but people have been known to repaint
things...
This looks like a DEC system to me.

It sure is. I have not only the front panel but also the rest of the BA11-M
box . It is identical (except for the paint then...). No question about it.
Nice little box by the way. Very useful when testing Qbus boards. H7270
backplane. 18 bit though, but if I cared I could just was well convert it
to 22 bits I guess.
I have two more photos here if that could possibly convince those who still
are skeptical.

New subject: Anyone want a PMC 4.3G MO cartridge?
More digging through junk that I'll never use, I've discovered that I've
still got a 4.3GB (1024 byte sectors) Pinnacle MO cartridge. The drive
itself went toes-up many years ago.
Anyone want the cart?
