Subject: First come best dressed - PDP8E's

Yesterday I rescued two pdp8e from being burried in a tip. 

Both appear to be complete and in reasonable condition. One has a cracked
face plate. Both have minor damage to the toggles, but I think no actual
switch damage.

Also there were two only RKO5J with them. One still has the pack in it, 
the other 'SIGH' is only good for spares.

There may be a third system plus a tape punch/reader in running condition.
2% chance of it still existing. More on that later.

They are available here in Melbourne Australia, as is, where is, as I 
do not have time to box or cart then anywhere. I can only store them a 
week, two at the most, else I will have to scrap them myself. 

I had to pay to get them ($150) so I hope some one out there appreciates 
the effort I took to save them. Offers to cover my out of pocket costs 
would be appreciated.

I had, as some may remember, the disappointment to scrap (3 years ago) a 
pdp8i as I could not find any takers. I did not know of this group at 
that time. I was sure I had some of the 8i hidden away but i have not 
found these parts yet. I lost the reply from the DECUS gents in NSW that  
responded to my posting earlier this year.

If I had more space I would like to keep the 8e's  but I have to be 
realistic in that there is only so much time and hobbies one can enjoy
in a life time. And my house and garage just have to be tidied up. 

Some people drink, others gamble, while yet others have sex as a vice. I 
think my vice in life is to be a Bower Bird (jjunk dealer), or so my 
family thinks. The stuff people throw out !!!!!!!!!!.

Anyway Email me if interested, regards
