Terminals For Sale Cheap, Ann Arbor MI

The Industrial Technology Institute is getting rid of all their old Ann
Arbor Ambassador terminals.  These are the original tall black-case
jobs with user-settable screen height and width (or rather,
user-settable number of rows and columns).  It's a portrait-size
screen; we usually use them in 48 row by 80 column mode.  A mounting
bracket is included for "ergometric" used.  Green screen.

They're old, they're clunky, they've got an ugly case, but they work
and they're incredibly cheap -- $20.00.  Manuals are available (free),
but there are probably not as many manuals as terminals.  One manual
per terminal bought.  Heck, we'll even throw in a termcap entry that
works pretty good (better than the default, we think).

We have 30 or 40 of these suckers.  You may test each terminal before
taking it home, but you may *not* test them all and pick the one you
think looks best.  Buy two, they're cheap.

Sale details:

You must pick the terminal up at ITI -- we will not ship.  Bring cash,
certified check or money order made out to Industrial Technology
Institute -- no personal checks.  All sales final.  No cables included
(except keyboard cables).  No packing available -- bring a box and/or
whatever you think is appropriate.

You must arrange your pickup in advance!  Call or email to any of:

 Ron Dalton	red@iti.org	313-769-4091
 Bob Tait	rt@iti.org	313-769-4149
 Steve Simmons	scs@iti.org	313-769-4086

Any unsold terminals will be turned in to the University of Michigan
Property Disposition, where they will ask (ta-da) $20.00 for them.
However, we have better hours than Property Distribution and PD will
not let you test them adequately.

Location:
	Industrial Technology Institute
	2901 Hubbard Road
	Ann Arbor, MI 48109

Directions:

ITI is at the corner of Hubbard and Huron Parkway in Ann Arbor.  From
the Plymouth Road exit of US-23 you go west two lights to Huron, then
turn south.  The first light is Hubbard.  Turn left onto Hubbard.  The
first entrance on your left is the driveway.

Plymouth Road exit is north of the 23/I-94 intersection, and south of
the 23/M-14 intersection.  If you come by I-94, go north on 23.  If you
come by M-14, go south on 23.
