Price  Description
-----  --------------------
$5	"Classic" Westinghouse front-load washer (needs work).  The spin
	bearings are worn out, and I guestimate would cost about $50 if you
	did the labor.  Pick it up soon, or it gets trashed.

$10	Panasonic stereo cassette deck; head okay, drive belt broken,
        CR-O2 switch, top-loader, no Dolby or auto-stop, 15 years old

$5 ea.	2 cheap turntables with ceramic cartridges.  Contact me for details.

$5 ea.	"Ball-Brothers" monochrome monitor, Tek4006 cabinet, 4025 keyboard.

$20ea.	Computer terminals:  basic Tek4025 or modified Tek CT8500.
	CT8500 has a 25-line, white-letters-on-black screen (easier on the
	eyes), and a Tek4014 keyboard (better feel, although no function/clear
	keys).  CT8500 has reverse video; 4025 doesn't (in monitor mode).
	Service & Operators manuals and power & RS232 cables included.

More details on the terminals:
The CT8500 is the Tek OEM version of a TEC (Arizona?) terminal, packaged in a
4025-style metal cabinet, although MUCH lighter because of less components.
It has 2 rows of DIP switches on back for setting baud rate (up to 9600),
parity, keyboard click, etc.  The yucky original keyboard has been replaced
with a 4014 keyboard which has a much better feel and key layout, but no
programmable function keys or a clear-screen key.  The CT8500 does have remote
programming capability, including clear-screen, reverse video, half-intensity,
underlining, blinking, cursor motion, and many other screen attributes.  It's
NOT VT100 compatible, but DOES have a standard Unix termcap which I can E-mail.

The Tek4025 has a nicer (although dented) keyboard with programmable baudrate
and function keys (almost ALL keys are programmable).  It has a 34-line, green-
on-black screen, with screen scroll-back ability.  As is typical with basic
4025s, it doesn't have cursor motion or reverse-video in its normal mode of
operation  (only in the workspace screen), and at 9600 baud it gets a
little behind when printing large files to its screen from a fast computer.
This is only evident when you press CTRL-S and it keeps printing until it
empties its buffer.  I've got a 4025A processor board for it (for an extra
$5), but never used it because my computer also didn't quite do 9600 baud,
so they were a good match.
