I am, but I built it myself. The key piece of hardware is the WQESD
controller, it has the boot ROMs, and it supports MS:, not MU:

Trust me, more than once I've wished this thing was using standard DEC boot
ROMs. Initially I was booting by typing the DU: bootstrap in by hand so I
could boot a RD52.

The dual height OEM CPU doens't have a console built in. That requires the
non-OEM version, which IIRC is quad-height. More than once I've been
tempted to replace the /73 with a really beautiful /23+ board that I've
got, which has a very nice console, and all the CPU upgrades.
