SELLING AS IS AND UNTESTED


$50 handling fee from having UPS professionally pack it



NO RETURNS - I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT SOME ASPECTS OF THIS LOT ARE BROKEN AND USELESS DUE TO THEIR AGE, AND YOU SHOULD TOO



I have no means to test them. I cannot comment on their functionality and how intact they are

I’m genuinely impressed by this piece. To my knowledge there are no others like it on eBay (as of the time of this posting), and it was probably sitting on a shelf in its box in plastic for nearly 40 years. The cords are still factory bound.

Again, as is and untested, and for parts. I wouldn't even know where to begin even if I wanted to test this stuff. I have to assume that some aspects of this lot are broken and useless, and you should, too.

These units belonged to a man who I joked worked on computers for as long as there have been computers. He recently passed away and we’ve been cleaning out his workshop. Everything we’ve found has been labeled as tested and working, and I feel strongly that if something was broken, he wouldn’t have kept it. These particular items have probably been in a box for the last 30 years, easily.

With that said, his widow told me that he said “don’t plug it in,” and even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t know what to look for to test it.

So, again, this is Untested and As-Is, and while I feel good that everything we’re offloading was in working order when it went into storage, I make no promises as to its functionality.

I took the posted photos, stuffed bubble wrap inside the unit, and then took the whole thing to The UPS Store to be professionally packed. I did this so I would know exact weight and dimensions for shipping, and to provide a level of assurance in the safety in its shipping. This also means if you have any questions not handled by this description and pictures, I'll have a hard time answering them.
