I'm doing a small sealed bid auction on the following:
Novation Cat Modem 490190-4
- Acoustically
Coupled 300 Baud Modem
- Original manual
- Serial Cable
- Power Supple
- Packed in the original box. The box has some wear but no
pieces of the cardboard are missing and all box photos look
very nice. I think the fact that it comes in the original
box etc makes it more collectible than the $5 units you can
find at hamfests.
Condition: This is the original Novation Cat
acoustically coupled
300 baud modem. Specs are 0-300 Baud, Bell 103
compatibility,
RS232C interface, does Answer (NOT auto-answer) and Originate,
etc etc. Should add a bit of Wargames flavor to that S100
system you've been restoring. I purchased it because the
seller told me it was an Apple Cat. I've never tried it but
there's not much that can go wrong with these units. Nonetheless,
I cannot guarantee its condition.
Auction Terms: This will be a sealed bid auction. Send your offers
to me at wirehead(a)retrocomputing.com. They will be recorded
and the highest bidder by Midnight March 8, 1999 will be sold
the item. Everyone, who bid, will receive an email at that time
telling
them the high bid but not to whom it was sold. Shipping will
be in addition to your bid and will be $7.50 in the continental
United States. The minimum bid on this item is $5.00.
Payment Terms: The successful bidder will send a check or money order
for the winning bid amount plus $7.50 shipping to my address,
which the winner will be provided. If payment is in the form
of a money order, the item will be shipped immediately. If
payment is in the form of a check, shipping will be delayed
3 days while the check clears.
Thanks. Again, I feel it's better to auction the stuff here than on Ebay
since
the items are more likely to find homes with genuine collectors and not
"investors".
