Well - "are out there" I agree, but do you know of any PRIVATELY owned and ALIVE machines? There is lot of PDP* discussion here, but it is very hard to get in touch with people being working on Rolm stuff. Of course: In contrast to a non-working PDP8 (which still looks beautiful) a defunc Rolm processor is just a very heavy brick of metal. So any one out there also preserving Rolm computer hardware in working condition?
I have my Rolm 1603 working. No peripherals hooked to it, but you can toggle in stuff from the front panel.
