Please be advised that there are readers of a.s.p that need spare parts 
desperately for various projects, including maintaining other DECmates, 
etc.  You sound like someone who has no committment to the hardware you 
currently have.  Please give some others a chance who have a demonstrated 
need, etc.

Thank You

I am just going to tinker around on it a bit just for fun.  Once I have 
had my fill, I'll be happy to put it up on the auction block.  If any
of you are interested or know of an interested party, drop me a note. I'll
put in a folder for future reference.  BTW, I have a number of OS/278
manuals that I got from a guy a number of years ago, so if anyone is
interested in these too, they will be up for grabs.  I always admired the
PDP-8, so this will just be one of those, just for the hell of it things,
so it will be a few months.  If you don't hear from me, just drop me a note
in case I forget.

thanks,

Oh yes, if any one has a good TK-50 around, I might be pursuaded to drop 
the whole lot into a box and ship it all off in exchange...hint, hint.

Yea, I have my price.

We will appropriately "bug" you :-).  However, you refer to "OS/278 
manuals".  Can you be a little more specific?
