Texas looking for dec pdp-11 system under $1000.00 in Texas

I thought i had a lead on an 11/84 system, but the owner found an error 62 - cache error - when he powered up the machine. Just curious if someone attending VCF SouthWest might have one for sale. Would entertain a PiDP-11 if the cost was reasonable.

You can build the kit, just order a PCB online and buy the components.
This way you won't have the bezel, but I believe this can be 3D printed online, nor the front cover in painted plexiglass, and more annoying you will have ordinary buttons.

Blinkenlights - that's missing from computers today. The PDP-11/70 was the last computer with a front panel, the first with Unix. Build one! By Oscar Vermeulen.

I’ve put myself on the email list for when new kits will be available. I also have pulled down the software to install on a Raspberry Pi 4 that I could use without the kit.
