Not that I am real serious, but how rare is a Terak?
Value of a working system (buying, not selling)?
Who knows? I'm not even sure how many were made, offhand I'd guess
they couldn't have sold more than a few thousand at ~$20K in 1979 dollars.
Most are probably in landfills by now, so they're arguably R@RE. The
only ones I've ever seen for sale were as scrap, so I've paid shipping, $0,
$1 to $25 for them in the past ten years. I don't own any of the later
color models, of which I suspect there were far fewer. I know three or
four people who own three or four, and maybe another half-dozen who
own one. Value is in the eye of the beholder.
