Perhaps you ought to join the PDP8-LOVERS mailing list.  It's a low-
volume mailing list composed of owners of PDP-8s and other old DEC
hardware.  For further information on PDP8-LOVERS, send mail to
PDP8-LOVERS-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU.  Be sure to include a reliable
path to your site and your real name (if your mailer doesn't automatically
include it).  If for some reason you should have trouble reaching
PDP8-LOVERS-REQUEST, you can send mail to me (rs@eddie.mit.edu) -
I maintain the mailing list.

Best of luck in your search for a PDP-8; if you need any information
or prints, contact me or the list - we can probably help.
