Hi Stan, well, of course eBay is always a gauge of what classic computers are
actually selling for (even if some "collectors" on this list are negative
about it). Take a look at what they are selling for there. Here is a helpful
link to take you right there -

&cobrandpartner=x&ht=&maxRecordsPerPage=50&query=%28next+cube%2Cnextstation%2C
next+computer%2Cnextstep%2Copenstep%29&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&SortOrder=%5Bd
%5D
After you've reviewed what they've been selling for over the last thirty
days, click on the "Search Active Items" link near "Sort by" area to
see what
they are selling for now. I have many links already setup for eBay to search
for specific computer types. See -

Since MacOS X has become a popular conversation piece, NeXT prices have
skyrocketed. When I bought my NeXTstation Color Turbo 33 (w/ 21"
monitor), I got it complete for USD$350 (including shipping). I've seen
them go for much higher, but their actual worth is probably somewhere
around there. As for market demand, it's most likely still high.

Hello all,
David and Tim, thanks for all of the info. I will probably list the
system on eBay next weekend, but I'd rather sell it to someone on this
list. I'll be happy to consider all reasonable offers.
Regards,
Stan

New subject: Looking for a couple of HP 7475A plotter parts
Hello,
I'm trying to resurrect an old HP 7475A, and I need a couple of parts:
1) the 6 pen carousel
2) the black plastic cap that goes on the left end (nearest the
carousel) of the rod that rotates in order to raise and lower the pen.
The pin that stick out of the end of the cap has broken off. I was going
to try to rebuild it with a short length of brass or plastic rod, but if
there's a spare out there, it would save me a lot of trouble.
Thanks in advance,
Stan Perkins

Hi Stan.
I come across these often at thrift stores. They seem to be rather
common. Have you tried looking around in your area thrift stores for one?

Sellam,
Yes, I'm planning to cruise a couple of swap meets in the next few
weeks. I know these plotters are around, but I'm averse to purchasing a
working instrument just to cannibalize it for parts for a broken one,
unless there's no alternative. I was hoping someone on the list might
have a damaged, defective, or "parts" 7475 that had these two pieces
still intact.
Regards,
Stan

I'm also an HP plotter enthusiast, and I have an HP 7550.
It has a 68000 CPU doing all the work.
I have two volumes of manuals, plus a handy
quick-reference. The bits I'm missing are the pen
carousels and the digitising sight. Anybody have any
spares for the 7550? In the UK?
I've already been lucky enough to find three packets of
pens in a Bristol charity shop (thrift store).

Scrap place near me just shredded about a dozen Next boxes and monitors
(mega pixel). Unfortunately by the time I saw them it was too late.
