Hello Witchy, I sold these things for Dick Eichorn....in Washington DC against
burroughs/redacdon......did quite well with sales as a matter of fact......but that was
yesterday> no it isn't a home computer by any stretch of the word.....it is a
very powerful, 2nd generation 8000 CPT..what is
the serial Number???should be on the inspection plate on the back or near that area...when
the unit came on the Market..CPT was in the early stages of financial difficulties....that
did not keep those in DC from selling the box.....If you plug the 8000 key board into the
8520 you will either get the 8520 to work or not.....it just happens that way....when we
rec'vd the 8520's the tech had to try to build a complete unit from what ever
parts they had in house....oh the units came in complete, they just were rushed thru
production. and the end result were always marginal....the original power up.....always
asked for the floppy......in my files somewhere, Knoxville, tn....where I now
reside/retired ....I'll try to connect/email with one other person that is still in
the DC area.....we will see what activity this produces.....what prompted my search on
this is a statement from a financial organization about 120 shares of stock/in stock
ownership plans that split @ 60 back when I was selling the boxes....go figure......it has
been a long time but the america social security system must actually keep records of that
sort of thing....I left CPT Corp for Hol Inns, spent 13 years with them....Moved into the
hospitality Industry...Room safes,,,,like the EL Safe ASSa Abloy...web site
www.elsafe.com
or
www.assaabloy.com
I now do contract work for
www.perma-vault.com of Warminster, PA. I,m still in the
hospitality industry....work is now concentrated on the distributors....they buy
more.........I"ll keep a watch for your response....it should be
interesting.....Happy Holidays....
