I would like to find out the original prices of some of the DEC equipment I
have when it first came out, preferably the UK prices. I only have a couple
of catalogues but they don't cover all the things I am interested in. If
anyone has catalogues and could scan the pages with prices and options etc
that would be great. The equipment I am interested in are:
MicroVAX II
MicroVAX 2000
MicroVAX 3100 (Models 30, 40, 80, 95)
VAXstation 4000 VLC
VAXstation 4000 Model 60
MicroVAX 3400
PDP11/24
VT220
VT420
LA50
Alpha 433au
DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP
DEC Professional 350
Thanks

Hi Rob,
I have several old DEC US standard price books which would cover some
of your equipment. The MVII would probably have a Qxxxx-xx system
number on it, which would be for a particular hardware configuration,
and usually software. The MVII probably had dozens, if not hundreds of
configurations.
The books were published quarterly then, and configurations and prices
could change with every printing. Different schools got different
educational discounts, and different companies received different
discounts. So it was kind of a retail guideline. I assume there was a
UK version.

I should have said I am only interested in list prices rather than
discounts. The idea is just to work out what they would cost in today's
prices for comparison to modern computers and I would just have to live with
price variations over time. If you have some US prices you could let me see
that would be great, just so long as you also tell me the date of the price
list. If there is a choice I would prefer the oldest prices so that they are
nearest to the list price at launch.
Thanks!
Rob

Hi Rob,
Do any of your systems Have a Qxxxx-xx number on them? I'll try to
scan some pages in the next few weeks, but I don't think I can just
look up MVII. Complete numbers are much better to work with.

Well I remember my DEC salesman's price book well enough.
In 1977 they where about a half inch thick, bound in blue and contained a
print out from a DEC10 system reduced to about 2/3 size.
The numbers in the pricelist did not really reflect the price at which
systems were sold. Individual systems would be designed on paper and the
prices worked out from the options in the book.
By the time extras had been added in and discounts taken out you could not
really equate them to the prices in the book.
You then wrote out an order set (yes by hand) and got sign off's from sales
management, field service and the product line (marketing).
I think they then got faxed to the US and entered onto OAS (Order Admin
System)
One price I can remember is that in 1976 an LA36 30cps printing terminal was
about ?900 UK list. (Has anybody got a UK one they don't want?) Mind you
different product lines might well have had their own list prices.

People need full part numbers with options else you may get a false impression
Prices need dates that the price applies too

OK, I am sure that different models have different prices, I didn't want to
bother the list with all the details of what I have, but hoped that someone
might have a catalogue covering some of the items below and scan some pages
then I can check which actual model I have etc. Agree that a date is also
needed, my preference is to get prices as close to the launch date as
possible.
Don?t understand the ?34780 price you mention below, I suspect that VT420s
cost significantly less than that?

I thought it might have been a decimal point, but then I thought why would
DEC quibble over 80/20p and not round the price?
Understand that all the price lists would be a lot of info, but aren't there
a few choice pages which would cover at least some of the items below,
particularly the items that would have been in a DECdirect catalogue? If you
have this material, perhaps you could lend it to me instead of scanning a
load of stuff? Is that something you would consider? Hopefully it would not
need to be all 2ft worth!

best way to get prices would be to find bill of sale..............
got one that states my pdp8a sold for 1800$ in 78 along with a spectrometor
that cost $48,000
10:38 a.m.
It was probably a round number before VAT.

VAXstation 4000 Model 60
MicroVAX 3400
PDP11/24
VT220
VT420
LA50
Alpha 433au
DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP
DEC Professional 350
For the record, I just found this in a box:
DEC of Canada Limited, Canadian Price List (173pp)
Authorized Distributor Group Price List Q3 FY 88
Effective January 18, 1988
I'm guessing the VAXes on your list would have been current at that
time, more or less. I don't really have time to compile the prices right
now, but let me know if it's important to you.

I would like to find out the original prices of
some of the DEC
equipment I have when it first came out, preferably the UK prices. I
only have a couple of catalogues but they don't cover all the things I
am interested in. If anyone has catalogues and could scan the pages
with prices and options etc that would be great. The equipment I am
interested in
are:
MicroVAX II
MicroVAX 2000
MicroVAX 3100 (Models 30, 40, 80, 95)
VAXstation 4000 VLC
VAXstation 4000 Model 60

The reason I am interested in prices is that I am going to be displaying
some of my systems at the DEC Legacy event in the UK next month and I want
to compile a card of facts about each machine I display. I suppose the
systems I am most interested in getting prices for are the MicroVAX IIs.
The smaller of the two has the following spec:
BA23 enclosure
KA630-AA
16MB of memory
RQDX3
TQK70 (was TQK50 when I got it)
DELQA (was DEQNA when I got it)
RD53
TK70 (was TK50 when I got it)
The larger one is
BA123 enclosure
KA630-AA
16MB memory
RQDX3
TQK50
DEQNA
TQK50
RQDX3
KRP50
DHV11
DPV11
RD53
RD54
TK50
I would be happy with an indicative price for just the smaller one.
Regards
Rob
