Yeah, a DECserver 500 or 550 version of an M7554 is usually the least
expensive version to find. Here are some asking $175.00 or make an
offer.

I picked up a couple of the DECserver 550 version (1.5MB RAM instead
of 512KB) for closer to $50 each, but that was several years ago.

The 11/53 version without the S-handle bracket seem to be a bit less
common. I managed to also grab one of those on eBay a while ago, maybe
less than $100 at the time.
