Unless there's a second DECdatasystem-racked PDP-11/34 in Frederick, I saw that system in person a few weeks ago. It's a beautiful machine, and easily worth a good bit more than that asking price.

Here's the text of the post (for those of you who don't have Facebook accounts) and the URL below. Pictures on Facebook so better to go there if you can. I don't know DEC prices but looks like a bargain to me! "DEC PDP-11/34A CPU, cards, and "decdatasystem" rack. RL02 not included at this time but a spare one could be negotiated. Much of the value of this system is in the rare Unibus SCSI card -- which cost me $1000 alone. Comes with extra cards and power supplies. Everything was fully restored and operational 8 years ago, including complete power supplies overhaul with caps reform or replacement as needed. Here's the catch. I got it all working, shut it down, wheeled it away, and in the 8 years since and multiple traumas later, I completely forgot how to do everything. I haven't yet attempted to power it on as I prefer a knowledgeable buyer who would have their own ideas on how to best bring it back up. I will assist, but Buyer responsible for removal from my house (all on ground level)."
