I will be watching.  I have almost an entire RS08/RF08, sans maybe the drive 
base plate and heads,  including the light panel.

Did anyone here get it?  I did not bid because I have zero parts of an
RF08 (and if I ever make a modern RF08 emulator, I might as well make
one of these to match).

$113.50 seems pretty cheap to me, that's like four cocktails in Manhattan.

Hope someone on this list got it!

Yeah, me - although I didn't expect to! Because of my work on DEC indicator
panels (this one's a 10-1/2" panel, unusual):

  http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/DECIndicatorPanels.html  

I put in what seemed to me a lowish bid, expecting not to get it (I figured
I'd make do with the image from the sale), and was rather surprised that I got
it.

I don't have an RF08, of course, so if anyone actually has an RF08, I'll
happily do a deal to get it to you.

Yeah, for the QSIC indicator panels, we built totally new ones, too. We
took advantage of that to change the interface; the DEC originals have a
wire per light, which is kind of klunky. Ours time-multiplexes a single
data line (there are 'clock' and 'latch' lines too); visually, it seems
to look identical to the DEC originals in operation.
