7. DEC PDP/11-44 computer. This has the following boards and came with

Just curious, where are you located?

I'm located in Santa Cruz, California. I'm willing to work with shipping
if needed but the stuff is NOT light.
Some photos of the stuff can be found at: http://www.dvq.com/trade/
Also, you can see the things I like to collect on the main site

I like the computer ads. What is the story about there being no ads
from the year 1967?
Bob
PS. How much was shipping on the IBM 1130 if you don't mind me
asking?

In the DEC ad from 1968:

what is the piece of equipment that is in the third row from the left,
second one down? It looks like a mini computer built into a table, but the
front panel is angled upwards.

I am guessing after reading the ad, it is a PDP 8 -multianalyzer.
It looks sorta like PDP 8 something there.

I've seen pictures of the racked version, I have a square table-top
version (black cover, approximately the same size as a table-top -8/e,
but I've never seen the pedestal -8/S before. I know how the switches
can be angled like that - unlike the -8/e or even the -8/i and -8/L,
the -8/S has two boards for its front panel - one is a stubble board
with the switches on it, then the board for the lights occupies row
two, then hangs over the top of the switch board in row one. It's not
difficult to imagine them making a modified switch board with the
switches parallel to the backplane instead of perpendicular.
Has anyone ever seen one of those in person? I'm kinda wondering if
they ever sold any or just mocked it up for the brochure.

I still think it's the 8/i, not the 8/S. Compare with:

FWIW, the 8/i also has the switches on a separate board from the
lights, making it fairly easy to mount them at an angle like that.

It looks like a table-top PDP-8/I, to me.

I just don't happen to have any magazines from 1967. As I
find old mags,
I try and scan the most interesting ads.
PS. How much was shipping on the IBM 1130 if you don't mind me
asking?
The final total was over $3000 with almost $900 for someone to build the
crate.
The ocean shipping was about $1000 and the rest for land shipping, and
customs.
