Just thought I'd let the list know what I got today
PDP 11/23 PLUS, with DECSTATION across the front.
RT01 on top, an RT02 on the bottom.
Serial number of the machine is 320 - pretty low :)
Fortunately, the friend I asked to help me pick it up (he has a wagon)
actually serviced these way back when (!) That was a stroke of luck. He
immediately parked the heads, removed the platters etc etc for me.
Also, a VT220 with what I'm told is a current loop connector on the back.
Now, to get the thing running... first I'll have to put a nail across the
circuit in my fusebox, as I can only run the dishwasher and heater... or the
TV and the microwave and the fan... or... you get the idea. The PDP cord is
10A, so I'm told :)
