Another listing that makes me scratch my head. Anything special here that made this worth $1200? A lot of times the parts individually might sell more more than the whole, but you can get an M8190 for $150 in current listings and M3104 DHV11 can't have that much value. You could buy 10 DHQ11 for $100 in one listing. A BA23 can't be that hard to find. Maybe just a case of someone deciding they really wanted an 11/73 today? I'd gladly sell one of mine for $1200 and include a SCSI controller and disk.

Yea, I saw that this morning and was surprised to see it cranked up to $850 at that time, would not have thought it would go up to $1,200 Makes Ioncannon 11/04 at $430 look like a bargain! Between this and the crazy price just paid for the PDP-8 paper and core card it's going to make it harder and harder to keep playing around with this stuff. Still bargains around though, I did pick up an old Grid Compass system couple weeks ago at a Hamfest for $10. I had the docking station with the 5 1/4 drive for about ten years now and finally found a computer to go with it so now I have almost every Grid laptop and pen base system built but still no binky light computer. May try Data General Nova stuff next or the HP 1000 systems, maybe they ant getting a lot of love.

Exactly what I was thinking, how did my PDP-11/04 go for $400 but this guy (and it's a Q-BUS >.>) go for over $1k? That isn't including shipping :shock:! The prices of DEC equipment will always confuse me (doesn't help that it's all heavy so huge shipping costs)...

Saw a RX02 for sale at $300 + $400 shipping, the guy parted out 1 drive and it went down to $120 + $160 shipping.
 
might not be collectors could be industrial bider of some sort that nabed this one.
i was biding on this one and walked from it at 600 bucks sigh
