For 40$ thats not bad but it's incomplete unless the disks are there then
it's
much more.

If you were seriously into PDP11 and shipping it didn't cost a bomb
$40-50
isn't much for spares.

Serial cards are gotten cheap. The M8189 (11/23 and 11/23+ <or B>)
has two serial ports and the equvilent of the M8012 on it, the M8186
does not have anything but basic CPU so you need the M8012
and a serial line card or two. Either CPU can be used in the same
box.

Besides if that is a complete system it's probably in a 4' 19" rack!

With RL01/2, RX01/2 and BA11S or N box that could be stuffed into a 36"
small office rack, likely it's a 40, 48" or larger one.
