Dallas. :( That's too far from Ohio for me. Altho, if anyone wants to
deliver it, I'll happily accept it...

Would this thing fit in the bed of a typical pickup truck?
How much does it's current owner want for it?

know if that's exactly the best way to ship this. I don't
know what the place wants for the system, but they've tried
to sell it for a while now without success, so my guess is
probably the value in scrap.
If anyone is serious about this system, I'll pass on the place's
phone number and email address.

What would you guess the scrap value of it is?

I'm quite interested in it, not sure if I can afford it.
