- A BRIEF ABOUT 7300's IN CHICAGO
-
- There are *about* 900 NEW, good, 7300's in a warehouse in Chicago. Also
- *about* 400 of same that didn't boot when tested but no diagnosis has been
- made of why.
-
- There are *about* 4000 Foundation Sets of the operating system. The FS is
- sufficient to run application programs. There are NO Development Sets.
-
- The owner has been looking for a buyer of the entire inventory. So far
- unsuccessful. However, he has developed an application and a new business
- that could very easily use all of the 7300s, so this could be the last
- posting of the availability of these machines.
-
- To order:
-
- A minimum of 20% of the price to me. I forward the payment to
- Chicago, alert him with electronic notice over the net, mail an
- order to him and a copy to the buyer showing payment and balance
- due. Shipment is made from Chicago via UPS COD for
- the balance plus shipping. Allow 3 - 5 weeks, depending on mail to
- me, mail to Chicago, the owner's schedule to go across Chicago plus
- a couple of suburbs to the warehouse, and UPS. Weight of a 7300 in
- shipping carton is approximately 60 pounds.
