This is purely speculation: Notice that the 1969 price list statest that a PDP-11/20 is a _prerequisite_ for the PDP-11/10. Also notice that the description doesn't include a teletype _or_ programmers console. With that and the low memory specs in mind, could it be that the _original_ 11/10 was intended as an automation machine for installation in some system with a specific task and that you were supposed to use the prerequisite 11/20 as a development system? So, if you want to find one, you should look in some contemporary industrial equipment. /P
