Those things are sooo cool!
I was a sales engineer at NASA, and probably sold 20+ Matrix QRZ film recorders @25K per
copy, and kept one for myself. Of course it beat the pants off the Pallete in terms of
resolution and writing speed.
Enjoy your toy!

Subject: Polaroid ProPalette 8000 Film Recorder in Richmond, VA area
To: cctalk at

So I was digging around looking for one of these (an 8000-line
CRT-based film recorder, basically it's used to print digital photos
to photographic film), and I managed to find one being liquidated.
Unfortunately they will not ship, and I'm in Philadelphia, which is
rather far from Richmond. So if anyone wants to pick this up, feel
free - $20 or so is quite a deal, as this model can fetch $350 or so
on eBay.

It hasn't sold the first time they listed it (at $35) so I don't
expect it to go for much. I'm willing to pay the cost, and for
shipping and the trouble, but if you're doing photographic stuff, by
all means use it. I just don't want to see it get dumped or recycled,
like most unsold surplus items end up.
Thanks!
