On the one hand the 25K is ridiculously excessive; on the other I'm surprised you were able to obtain one for so little, even in poor condition, and there was so little bidding. Replacing the missing keycaps may be difficult, but it otherwise looks quite recoverable. On 2015-Jun-05, at 6:21 P

I think I'd enjoy having an 029 if the right one appeared at the right cost and location. But I think I could get by with an 026 for $9! :) I have zero experience with keypunch machines and zero practical use for one... but I think it would be fun anyway. -- Mark J. Blair, NF6X http://www.nf6

I have been given a PDP-11/44 and I was running through all sorts of diagnostics to check out the machine. It seems to work fine except for the trap test KKABD1 which fails at 23252. It passes an earlier version of the same trap test. The listing (thank you Jörg) is at: ftp://u58104846-pub:open4yo
