I believe it was a Vax 730 with a PDP-8 FEP, inside the main chassis it 
actually had a part labelled (in big letters) "FUBAR" 🙂

If I remember correctly, it ran VMS v2.4

The Vax I have the most memories of though, which I'd also like to simulate,
was a Vax 782 (two 780s clustered I believe), and I'm not entirely sure of the 
VMS version, could be v3.2 or v4.2

People here would know which version was most likely in (guessing mid) 1978 in 
North America (Ontario/Canada at Western University (UWO)).
I have lots of printouts, but I'm not sure I ever captured the version.

Of course, I'll need the VMS images (which I may have) and the PAKs for these 
versions...

For sentimental/nostalgic purposes...

I remember Fortran on the 782 was kinda wonky at the time, it didn't seem to be 
able to make up its mind whether it was Fortran/IV or Fortran-77 🙂

Note: someone decades ago told me the plural for Vax was "Vaxen", and it just 
stuck...

Dan.
