Speaking of boards vs boxes, any idea what an empty BA11-F fetches these days? I have a box with all the boards for a KB11-C (PDP-11/70) including backplane and front panel PCB (no mounting bracket or front plexi) and I'd like to turn it into a working machine if possible. (I also have all the boards and backplane, and no box, for 2MB in-1670 Intel memory subsystem (eg https://books.google.com/books?id=5OsHzHowTLIC&lpg=PA16&ots=sRWXIRaRI9&dq=intel%20memory%201670%20pdp&pg=PA16#v=onepage&q&f=false) - just need to fabricate a box for that and add a fat PSU. It has over 1300 4116 DRAMs) > Actually, I really need to check all the numbers. I would recommend adding somewhere a date for when the numbers were last updated since prices will obviously change as time goes on.

If someone could tell me what later boxes to list, > above the BA23, (which I also need an image of), that would be very helpful. I have a number of BA23 boxes, and a BA123. The next one up in the series off the top of my head is the BA213. I'm fuzzy after that because we stopped buying DEC gear around that era. -ethan
