Ouch, that hurts, but I totally understand.  

The only vintage computer I’m actually in the market for would be a VAX 4000 (other than that, there are a couple terminals I lust after).  I do have a chassis that I plan to turn into a 4000/200 (it has a defective KA640 that needs replaced), but would really like something faster than that chassis can handle.
