Yes it does look like it would be a bit of a drive for you right now. I'm really looking to see if I can get someone to pick it up and take it whole. Don't want to have to part it out, put it on ebay or take it to the scrapper if I can help it. I'm sure I'll find someone. I have one person who just wants the front panel. Looking to see if I can keep it together first.

That's one of the models I've always thought was kinda cool, due to the
writable control store. I heard a story once that one of the DEC engineers
wrote PDP-8-instruction-set microcode for it as an exercise. Internal
lore held that it was the fastest PDP-8 ever made (dunno if it ran more
than FOCAL and paper-tape programs, though - interfacing devices would
be a bit of a hassle, I'd expect).
