Hey Everyone,
Due to a number of circumstances beyond my control, I have to sell the majority of my DEC PDP-11 collection starting with my pride and joy, the PDP-11/44.
Please read below carefully and study the photos, there's a lot of information here.
Here is my PDP-11/44 System that I've spent a number of year piecing together - this is one of the cleanest, most complete PDP-11/44 configurations in the world. I am located in Duncan, British Columbia (Vancouver Island). This system is absolutely spotless inside and out, and has been stored in a climate-controlled shop for my entire ownership. There are a number of photos of the system below. I am asking $10K USD for the entire setup and unfortunately have a limited timetable to sell the machine (as I have just sold my house and have no room where I am moving to). I will also be listing the machine on eBay as well a week from today.
5-Cabinets, all adjoined together with mating side panels:

This machine is unique as it includes a DF100 modem chassis, with 2 modem cards and SIX DECTalk DTC03's. The power supplies in the BA11-A and BA11-KW have been re-capped. The 4 x RL02's all power-up and have no burnt-out indicator bulbs. The RA81 powers up, spins up AND goes ready. The two MicroTechnology MDI76 / MDI276 also power-up and appear to be fully functional. The RX02 floppy drive has been refurbed and runs well. There's a total of 32 Serial ports (4 x DZ11 cards WITH a KMC11-A comms co-processor), with appropriate serial bulkheads and DEC-branded serial cables. There is also a KBD01 remote-maintenance unit with the correct cabling and serial bulkhead, along with a DF112 modem.

Serial Ports:

This machine include the full maintenance records, RSX11-M+ Documentation library, etc.

System is considered AS-IS, WHERE-IS. I had it running a couple years ago, where it passed the built-in diagnostics, however the input circuit breaker on the power supply in the BA11-A failed, preventing the CPU chassis from powering up. System includes a SPARE BA11-a Power supply.

Cabinet Configuration:

PDP-11/44 BA11-A Mounting Box Configuration:

BA11-KW Expansion Box Configuration:

System also includes a SECOND TS11 Tape drive and RA81 Hard Drive installed in a tall "corporate" rack:

Also included is a DEC LP25 Line Printer (with stand):

As well as a number of spare DEC Power Supplies:

I will also throw-in a refurbished DECWriter III terminal to be used as the system console:

MicroTechnology MDI76 and MDI276:

I've also got a collection of RL02 disk-packs, 9-track tapes and DECTapeII tapes (including original DEC software distributions) that I can include some of to the buyer as well.
Again, the system is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS and I am asking $10K USD for the whole setup.
Let me know if you have any questions or need any additional details.
