WOW!!!! $15k DEC PDP-8 CLASSIC MINICOMPUTER SYSTEM DIGITAL PDP8

[John Allain]

Bob,
   I plan on going to the MIT Flea.
   I used Apollos 1982-1986 and have none now.
   If you have a running sub-50 pound system to get
   rid of, you can consider me, or not.
   And thanks for archiving.

John A.

I've got scads of Apollo hardware and documentation.

Most of it needs a new home, but there has been little interest so far.
