 It's a 12-bit machine, but big odd non-DEC-looking boards. It's
 7400 TTL, with 1974 and 1973 dated-coded chips. 
Hmm, front panel is definitely PDP-8-ish-looking.  Worth saving regardless
of condition, if you think you might be able to restore it (certainly
possible with the right amount of time and inclination).

It's definately a PDP-8 clone and actually pretty decent.  Actually saw one in 
use back around '81.  It would be fun getting one of those going again, wrong 
coast though.

If memory serves they (DCC) also did a 16bit machine cloned after a different 
platform.
