I usually keep an eye out for DEC-stuff on ebay, but this one must have
slipped by. Sorry, I know how much you want one.

Is the straight eight the only one you're missing from your collection?
Would be interesting to see how many are still around, compared with 8/S - I've
heard the /S is actually rarer...

Alas, I'm missing both (i.e., I have no transistor 8's) :-(
But apart from that, I have everything :-)

Somehow that doesn't ring true.
cjl [who has FOUR or FIVE Linc-8's, admittedly there isn't much hope
of the last one or two ever being whole again, but makes a lot of good
spares for the others; first one has 8K; it and a second 4K machine
are modified to allow P?S/8 and OS/8 to run on them without requiring
any additional memory; P?S/8 can run on either and OS/8 can run on the
8K one; it's real hard to get more than 8K on a Linc-8. These two
machines have been run relatively recently; Reasonable to expect
little to no work on them to get them up 100%. Clearly a third is
present sufficiently to be resurrected back to DEC factory, but would
still lack the modifications; a fourth is theoretically possible with
a lot of cosmetic problems; the fifth will not be a machine for
numerous for-want-of-a-nail reasons that are to keep the rest alive,
etc. It has been presented to another for storage, etc. and is known
to be in bad shape, etc. Sort-of analogous to my RK05 drive that has
a dozen things wrong with it; mostly stuff stripped out to get some
other drives totally working, etc.]
