I got the boards circa 1995. The guy who gave them to me related
that the PDP-6 had been decommisioned circa early 80's (replaced
with a FOONLY - that ought to narrow it down for you!), and he
was keeping KS10's and Massbus disk and tapes drive running
in his house through most of the 90's :-).

I'm not sure why I'm making any attempt at obfuscating this
guy's identity, I gave away so many clues above that it's
obvious who it is by now! Maybe my obfuscation is a lame attempt
at stopping the "you tore up a PDP-6" blame game.

Tim.
