It looks like a good set of hardware. The only downside is the large quantity of non-DEC cards in there, which i’ve found to be rather difficult to find documentation for…

However, for the price, a pair of PDP-11/23’s isn’t a bad score. Not sure what you’d do with such a specialised rig though… but it’s an excellent bargain just as parts.
