Heathkit EC-1 For Sale to Highest Offer

by badger＠vbe.com

Now that I have an idea of the EC-1's general value from members of the list ...so I don't get screwed selling it blind ...and, as I learned from my faux pas in stating I was selling it on eBay... In order to allow members of this forum to have a chance to purchase this computer prior to my listing it on eBay, here it is. If you are interested here are my terms: 1. Offers are accepted via email effective 2000 hrs UTC, November 3, 2000 until 2000 hrs UTC November 6, 2000 ONLY 2. Minimum Offer accepted is $350 3. Buyer pays all actual shipping costs, insurance and any import duty or customs fees. EC-1 ships on receipt of payment 4. Payment to be by certified funds (cashier's check or money order) and must be received within seven days of end of offer. Payment may also be made with a credit card via PayPal. 5. EC-1 is sold "as-is" with no warrantee or guarantee I will try to assay the general condition of the computer as accurately as possible. There are no dents or dings. There are a some small scratches. The mesh case is dark green in color. The pots were stiff and two were frozen but were able to be freed up using Caig Labs DeOxit and seem to work fine. There are chips out of the plastic screw slots on two of the the balance pots but they still work fine and it's not noticeable unless you specifically look at them. The tubes test ok and the chassis appears clean and in good order. I can find no obvious faults electrically. The computer powers up.... both filament and high voltage. The meter works and I was able to check the B+ voltage (right on the money) and balance all the amplifiers at all 3 working voltages (100,10 and 1 VDC). It comes with the original operators manual and three of the resistor/capacitor plug ins. No other plug ins, leads or cables are included. All the knobs and switches are original and they are in very good condition. I have tested the unit only this far and all seems well but it is sold "AS-IS" with no warrantee due to it's age and my inability to test it's operation further. A picture is available at http://www.vbe.com/~badger/bc/ec1.jpg or http://www.vbe.com/~badger/bc/ec1a.jpg If you need more general information, have something you want me to check or e-mail pictures let me know.

PDP-10 Emulator (was: Re: MULTICS Installation, Halifax)

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

LOL, I essential gave away a complete, operational 2065 (KL-10) complete with manuals, software, 5 or 6 RP06's, and a pair of TU78's, simply because I could no longer afford to go rescue it after making expensive car repairs... So I shudder to think what that would bring.. And I want to make the promise that I will never, ever, be caught dead selling any minis or mainframes or whatnot on any auction site... Sure, I've sold some stuff to DEC resellers, but that was just 3rd party crud.. I'm not saying that I don't think its right for these machines to have a value, I'm only saying I personally would not feel right about selling things I have mostly accquired for free..
