Thanks Dave, that makes sense. I had a very nice convo with the guy pointing out his pricing was... a little off. The listing has been updated, he's asking $5k-6k now, which given the condition of it, I doubt he'll get, but he was super-nice about it.

As far as I can tell, this is a DECmate 1. VT78 with an RX01 drive. I don't know what an MR78 is though.
No, the DECmate-I is the next generation of this, built into a VT100. This is a VT78. As a complete system, working, it's probably worth $3K or so.
The MR78 is a boot ROM.
