That could be a nice machine. Lots of desirable boards and options. It appears to have a DR8E, KP8E, PT8E, TD8E with the ROM for OS/8 boot, and even a VC8E. The console is on an M8650. Looks like a full 32k. The listing has it wrong and shows the G111 as 4k. The Plessey boards are each 8k. The only thing that seems to be missing is the M8320 bus loads card. Having all the cables is a huge plus! The broken paddle switches are fixable. I also like that the cover is present.An 8/e in germany: Ebay
I don't understand why this looks like trash. Not even cleaned up a little bit.
Although I've purchased a few ICs from them and they' seem pretty professional I seriously doubt that they have any Certified DEC Field Service personal on staff ... so I'd take that warranty as advertising boilerplate rather than a worthwhile commitment. Not to mention that they can't bother to take even a single photo of the modules or provide a list. And I have my doubts about "tested" and "cleaned". Do you feel lucky ... punk? (Dirty Harry)It includes a 2 year Radwell warranty, so seem like an attractive buy if you have that kind of money laying around.
Only eclipsed by the seller's optimism! "If someone would like to make a Buy It Now offer higher than the opening bid, please message me"WOW-how about a PC8E/PC04 paper tape reader/punch for $15k !!!!

An interesting device as it apparently uses (just) 3/4th of the Unibus controller implementation plus a variant M7269 bus control (quad-height metal-tabbed), and then an M7268 adapter (double-height) that plugs into the Qbus). You'd need to replicate two modules, plus the SU/backplane signal paths.The same seller has an RKV11 for >2k USD (about a quarter million Oz Dollarydoos) which I would be interested in, but I'm a bit hesitant at that price. AFAIK this uses three of the RK11-D modules and a custom 4-height Qbus I/F module plus a special wired backplane?
I had one of those for quite a while and that matches my recollection of the arrangement. I might also still have prints.The same seller has an RKV11 for >2k USD (about a quarter million Oz Dollarydoos) which I would be interested in, but I'm a bit hesitant at that price.

A while ago I asked on cctalk about this and someone said they had the RKV11 engineering drawings and wirelist, but sadly no further information was offered. I think it would be great to have a KiCAD repop of that board.
"One is not DEC, I have no information on it."This unit on eBay looks interesting:
DEC PDP 11/34 decdatasystem with three RK05 disk drives | eBay
One is not DEC, I have no information on it.www.ebay.com
All sorts of weird stuff this week, but I really don't know if I want an RM03. So was the RK05-F two platters, or just one double density RK05 that didn't have to worry about pack removal?"One is not DEC, I have no information on it."
One is not like the other two, but there's 3 DEC drives there. Maybe he's confused by the RK05F?
Track alignment was too challenging to accomodate pack swapping on the RK05-F.the RK05-F is just one double [track] density RK05 that doesn't have to worry about pack removal.
