Sorry if this is bad form - I ordinarily would not post a mention of one of
my own auctions but this is probably somewhat special. I have decided to
sell my complete 8/e system, peripherals, software, documentations, and
spares.

I don't feel at all bad about what I got for mine, a much lesser 8, a few

A very enviable setup. I can sympathise with your decision to sell it.
So many fun things to play with, but only so much time.

I wish I had known about all this before you put up the auction... I
would have liked to try and work out a deal for that teletype.
Oh well, hope you get a good price and that it stays running!

Very nice indeed. Alas, too far away and beyond my budget but it looks
great.

*drool* A VT05 with a spare!
Plus all the ephemera and nice racks and panels, it sure is a beauty.
I bet you have a nicer set there than what the Computer History Museum
has for a PDP-8!

All I saw at the CHM were three PDP-8 CPUs and an ASR33... pretty, but
not near the amount of stuff in this auction!
That reminds me... the Computer Science House at RIT has a PDP-8
somethingorother that just languishes in their storage room... if I
could only find some way to pry it away from them :) They're not cool
enough to have it.

I don't think CHM has all of their PDP-8 stuff on display though.

I have had the honor of meeting with Jon a few times. He is one of the
nicest people I've met here, and really knows his 8-E and options. His
system look like it just came off of a production line. I don't think
pictures can do it justice. It could easily be the cornerstone of any
collection.

Amazing. I have some individual parts to match, but I've never set up
anything larger than a 2-bay system - maybe when I finish debugging my
defective KK8E and I can move on to my RK8E and throw a couple of RK05s
on it... (right now, my two most expansive systems are an -8/i w/2xDF32
and a PC04, and an -8/a w/RL01 and RX02).
Very, very nice. Someone is going to be very happy with that system.
