Hi All,

Ive found myself in the posession of an old rack mount PDP11/73, built under
the badge of chisholm industries.  It looks like its in reasonably good
shape, and appears to boot ( lights blink, etc).  Im not really into old PDP
hardware myself, but if anyone is interested in aquiring this, feel free to
contact me off-list with offers of cash, trades, bribes, etc.  Thanks.
