KL-10

This is sort of the "holy grail" for many DEC collectors. I had been offered a VAX 11/780 by someone, but it was more $'s than I really wanted to spend for something that was big and required 3-phase power. I was relating the story to a fellow DEC collector when I mentioned that the only system that I'd really deal with 3-phase would be a KL-10. His comment was "I have one and I'd be willing to part with it for the right price". Half teasing (figuring the right price was a lot), I said sure, let me know what you want and we'll see if we can't make a deal. Was I suprised when he came back a few days later with a figure that seemed (to me anyway) reasonable.
