Selling an old (circa 1970s) DEC printer.   It is an LA180 DECPrinter I.
This has a  port that is supposed to make it usable with a PC
though I've had no luck.   Have owned it for a few months but have no use 
for it.   Someone with a bit of technical expertise might be able
to make this a fully-functioning PC compatible printer.  Otherwise it used to
be used with non-clones (PDPs, Wangs, perhaps the VAX though it pre-dates
the VAX) and likely works with them now.   Never used by me.   Might be
useful to somebody who needs this older kind of printer for whatever reason.
Physically, this is a very large (and heavy) printer, hence I will deliver this
only to places within a 100 mile radius of Arlington MA (MIT, Harvard, etc, are
OK as well).  It uses the wide kind of computer paper; a few sheets partially
written-on included.  Manual included also, including circuit diagrams that
might help anyone who wants to fiddle with the electronics of this printer
internally.  Must buy as-is; no returns please (it's just too big to transport
conveniently a lot).
Asking an even $75.00 (no best offers please) for this printer, and that
includes the terrible amount of work I'll have to do to deliver this to you.
Anyone within easy car access of Arlington, MA, who pays the full 
price gets it.  Will deliver locally or over a certain distance, even over the
NH border a little way.   If interested then e-mail to me soon since I really
do want to sell this printer now.  Thanks to anyone interested.
