Ok, here it is.
Mike Westerfield, the guy with the AIM65s, phoned me yesterday and we
spoke about the deal. He has been offered $125 for EACH unit from a
company called Dynatem which still uses the AIMs commercially. Mike
started a company way back with a product based on the AIM65. It was
an insurance rate calculator. In order to make the product marketable,
he designed a plastic and a metal-base enclosure. He also placed a
compact power supply inside the enclosure to make for a nice complete
package.
He apparently was very successful with this venture and sold many. At
this point, unless someone comes along and offers him more than $125
per unit and buys the whole lot, they are going to Dynatem. That's too
rich for my blood.
The problem lies in the fact that in the early/mid 80's Dynatem *bought*
the rights to the AIM-65. Lock stock and barrel. I guess they have a
right to buy them. I don't think they are going to get tossed anytime
soon. I might try to contact them and maybe buy one of of them.
