Hi!
Want to sell one of the Convertibles? It doesn't matter that there's no
power supply, or even if it works or not. I collect old laptops, and the
Convertible is one of the ones that I don't have.
ThAnX,

I got a call on the radio from another ham checking out
garage sales, and
he
told me about a Unix machine. When I went over, the
machine turned out to
be an IBM RT with docs and disks! There was also a Compucorp 675 that I
was
told was a dedicated word processor (no docs.) The guy
wanted $15 for the
RT and was giving away the Compucorp so I gave him $20 *after* I told him I
have so many machines I don't usually buy them, and we had a nice talk. He
will see if there are any docs for it and he will be talking to others that
have been in the business since the late '70s and early '80s. Went to the
club station where I was given a Mac IIvx (OT? as I have no idea what era
it
is from.) Another guy had just visited the local scrap
yard and gave me 3
IBM Convertibles w/ no power supplies. All in all, not a bad day!
Anyone know anything about the Compucorp 675?

Hi Jason,
Sure. I got a note from another listmember who has three of the power
supply units, and we will be working out something so I can get them. When
I acquired these units, I told the guy if I did end up getting rid of them,
I would pass the money on to him, and by the time the power supplies get
here, there will probably be between $15 and $20 into them. I don't know
where you live, but probably at the most you are looking at about $10 UPS
shipping. Let me know if this is okay, and I'll put one aside for you.
Thanks.
Marvin

Darn it, sorry. That last message was supposed to be private rather than
clutter up the listserver <sigh>.
