Yes, he works for a company which sells spares and as such they have
a large inventory of old machines which have been dismantaled for
component resale. The industrial 8 seems to have missed the dissassembly
process originally, but as you say looks like it is now being sold
in chunks, which is better than in bits and pieces.

He is actually quite reasonably priced for individual boards and such,
$15 for untested and $20 for tested on most old PDP11 parts...
