I bought this system new, and used it while I was a graduate computer
engineering student (I refuse to stand in any line for anything, least of
all a Cyber). Except for a series of Pascal programs for my Queueing Systems
class and using the editor for my thesis writeup, it has been used quite
infrequently and (according to my wife) is taking up too much room in our home. 
It has been well-maintained. It is complete, including all cabling, and
is ready to begin using.

The price is $7750 (certified check or bank draft).

I can be contacted via any of the following ways. 
Please, SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!
