I've used various DEC systems in the past (11/10.11/34,11/40 DECsystem-20 in the late '70s). I'm interested in obtaining a system for my own home use. Please let me know of any leads as to where I might find one? Note: someone mentioned in the DIGITAL Facebook forum to check auction sites; the only one that I know of is eBay - Please send me a web site address and/or link.
Thank you.
 
I was thinking about putting a bid (or two...) on this 11/73; at the time the bid was around $670 - what stopped me from bidding was the rat damage to the unit and not knowing how available wiring diagrams were for the unit. Yes, I do peruse eBay for different manufacturers equipment, such as DEC, Sun, once in a while ASR-33s, etc..
 
Bitsavers has great DEC archives. Other sites as well. PDP-11 documentation is generally quite available. VAX-11 too. Documentation dries up as the "brute" HW disappears into the VLSI. If you can't find something, ask; sometimes you have to know "the right phrase" to find some things, but mostly keyword search works well.

Try that with DGC ... :-<.
