You moved all that gear  from UK  to USA?

I have  one, restored, was running when stored but not powered up in
some  considerable time.

Serial number unknown; IIRC correctly the tag with  the serial number
was missing so may remain unknown.

Obtained from a  collector called Erik in... Netherlands I think, circa
2004... who got it  from John Bradatanu... IIRC I traded a TU56, a
pdp-8/L, and some other  bits, for the 8/S and a working VT05.. see pic
on this  page:

Pics on that page  are interesting, as it's the only time around 90% of
the DEC portion of the  Corestore collection has all been lined up and
visible in the same place at  the same time!

Oh 8/m has been discussed in front panel talk... here's  a nice pic of
mine:  http://www.corestore.org/pdp8m-1.jpg

 state but no name,  email but no other contact, etc.  If designed well,  that
