Hi Mark,
Josh Dursh in seattle offered 850$ and that was enough to keep me and my
family warm this winter.
I have a lot ot TEK gear that I would like to get rid of, Unfortunately
it;s been stored in a unheated
enclosure for nearly 20 years. So some of the components may need to be
replaced. What kind
of stuff are you looking for. I might have something in the piles of
stuff. Mostly color graphics
terminal stuff and tek graphics workstations.
What I don't have: sun, dec, dg
What I have, TEK, motorola, and a bunch of 70's micro stuff.
Jim.

Hi Mark,
The offer for the machine is currently at $600.
We have had a bit of weather, power outages and 2 feet of snow if you
haven't seen the news.
I'm just now getting back to everyone that showed interest.
Thanks,
Jim. The machine is available in Portland Or or
preferably, up the gorge
in Goldendale Wa. which is located about 100 miles east of Portland.
The machine could be shipped, but it would require a pallet for the
case, foam for the monitor and separate packing for the drive and
boards.
I'm not sure how much it's worth. I have had an offer for $370. So
I guess thats a start.
The system includes the mono hi-res graphics monitor, space cadet
keyboard, full document (user) set, but no hardware prints (sorry)
and a frame tosser board. I'll throw in a couple bus mice, but they
will need to be rewired. I'll fire it up and verify that it still
boots. (it did 6 months ago)
If you pick it up in goldendale, I'll let you dig around in my shed
for other goodies.
The machine is badged as a XL400 but boot reports a XL1200. I
assume it's the extra memory and possibly software upgrades.
It has been stored inside, in a clean dry environment since I
picked it up about 7 years ago.
Jim Davis.
