That's a nice collection of DEC kit. The PDP-11/73 pedestal would be nice.

I have a BA23 pedestal 11/83 and it's a really nice form factor for a
pdp11. The CPU in that box can take PMI memory but it looks like it's
configured with conventional memory based on the location of the
processor board.

I?m relieved it?s not closer to me, or I?d be sorely tempted to go for that. That?s a
seriously nice pile of gear. Especially as they have the right badges on the pedestals.
I?m more interested in downsizing than adding more, but that?s exactly the sort of thing
that would tempt me.

Speaking of badges, I have a BA23 that doesn't have one. It was an 11/73
but that badge is gone, and I am trying to repair an 11/93 to go in there.
Does anybody have a spare 11/73 badge for the BA23 that could be used as
a model for a printed version that says 11/93?? I don't believe there
ever was one for the BA23 chassis!? I have a BA123 micro VAX II badge
going spare if anybody needs it, or to swap for an 11/73!
Cheers,

I once had a pair of 11/93s that originally lived in BA23 pedestals,
and I'm fairly certain that they did have "MicroPDP 11/93" badges.
I'll look and see if I have any photos.

Thanks, Doc, I was under the impression that they always were shipped in

Sheesh!? and I have been on that site too!
Now I just need a model for the back part and I can send it to my friend
who does 3D printing!

I need one for an 11/83 (if I can get my CPU board to run). It's on my "to
do" list to try to 3-D model one for FMD or resin printing.

Sold for $4,900. Looks like a couple of low score bidders got in a
bidding war and really wanted to win.
Nice bit of kit to jumpstart a QBus VAX / PDP collection, but that
price seems just a tad bit too much...
At least I doubt it will be getting recycled anytime soon.
12:14 p.m.
*Wow* That's a bit much.

I was watching the auction because I thought I might bid.? Silly me. :-) With 15 minutes
to go, it was $595.? At 10 minutes it was up around $1200.? The last 2 minutes were
something to watch as the price jumped to $2000, then $2400, $2700, $3700 and higher.? The
last 15 seconds saw the price soar through the $4000's and nearly make it to $5000.?
By then, I was hoping to see it that $5000 mark but it fell just short.
