Hey guys,
I am keeping an eye out for an SWTPC 6800 system. I was hoping for one with
the SWTPC black case. I thought that'd be nice to go with the CT-1024
terminal I have (if I get it working). Have developed a bit of a
fascination with SWTPC lately.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows what a typical value for a single unit
with nothing fancy is? I note a recent auction had two of them together for
$1400 - Am I correct to imply from that that the value of an individual unit
is probably less than $700 (that set was unique due to the systems being
linked and that control box they had, I think).
I keep seeing this one popping up on ebay:

&hash=item2334465236
But it's got a custom case, and looking at the written dates on the ROMs
appears to be later than what I believe was the 6800's heyday (mid to late
70s?). Did SWTPC sell 6800s as parts like that, or is this something
someone cobbled together?
