What would a 20th Anniversary pdp11/93 be worth?

I'm not any kind of authority, but I would guess that it is going to
depend on what it is exactly. His composite email says 11/83, but your
(his?) subject line says 11/83. If it is an 11/93, then it's pretty
uncommon in the hobbiest sector, I think. Also, wouldn't that make it a
20mhz J11, making it quite valuable? If it's an 11/83 then it would be
the 18mhz J11.

course if it's got a qbus scsi card, well then you know it's worth some
dough :-)
