I am _always_
suspicious when a known collector offers a machine for sale
in unknown/untested condition.
Is the seller a known collector, or an unknown collector from a known
domain (spies.com)? There are some Alto manuals on the
Web (I don't seem to have the URL) which would give you a better idea.
The seller is the same person that put the Alto manuals on the web. See
the Xerox Alto Archive; there's a link on Al's Xerox Workstation Collection
page:
http://www.spies.com/aek/xerox.html
People seem to be quick to complain about Al's auction, but where else do
you see an Alto available in any condition at any price?
