PDP 11 and PDP 8 boards


Several boards from gold scrapper.  Most are in perfect condition as far as component condition, state of etch, etc.  One had a clipped lead on it under a wire which was from another board, not a pulled jumper.

I ordered several more, and am resisting the urge to buy a couple more to add to stock.  Seldom to see sanity in listings from seller, as far as pricing.
