I tried a couple best offers, but they were auto-declined. Probably a bit too rich for me -- as much as I'd love to have one... Nevertheless, perhaps someone here is interested and will pick it up.

I’m not surprised the seller may want to get as much as a thousand dollars or more. Also, it isn't easy to find roll-oiled black paper nowadays. By the way, I had like that many years ago. An update kit was required to correct an engineer error that caused a jamming problem.

Someone made a bid, so it's now going to be decided in a battle of the bidders (unless the reserve is set too high). It'll be interesting to see what happens. Any final result in the range of $500 to $3000 would not surprise me.

I do think that owning one of these could be a little bit of an uphill battle compared to something like the Fanuc PPR that I connected to my H8. It would be fun, period accurate, and it would match the aesthetic of the rest of the heathkit line.

Scott,

 

I hope you get it for your Heathkit original collection.

I'd been looking for one to pair with my H8 and H11.  I bought the H11-2 interface board for it almost 2 years ago.  I won't spend crazy money for one though.

That's kinda where I'm at. I'd love to have it, but I don't expect to get it. No matter how much I bid, someone will be willing to bid absurd amounts to win it. (which is great for the seller!)

Same seller has the H11 and H27 available now - https://www.ebay.com/itm/166397000511
Lots of additional switches on the front of the H11.

He also has a H36 printer/terminal, but he hasn't listed it yet, and it would be very expensive and a major pain to ship, if someone is driving distance and interested let me know, I can check with him to see if he would rather sell it for pickup.

I bid $500 to test the waters and the reserve is still not met.  Gonna be pricey as we suspected

Personally, I hope the reserve is high enough that it doesn't sell (the first time and the second time).

I sold my H10 (repaired and operational) for $5k. A very motivated buyer
posted the unsolicited offer on VCF Forums and I took him up on it. As neat a
gadget as it is I wasn't going to pass up the sale.

I have such good memories of paper tape on my old yellow Teletype M33. Would love to have that back!

Whew. Missed it by about 500 bucks. Now I gotta thank whomever just saved me from myself. This was a really hard one to say no to.

Yet another example of the value of open bidding (for the seller, not the buyer 😀 )

I said the exact same thing to myself yesterday about the SWTPC 6800 that sold yesterday morning.
