Kia Ora all,

 

 I somehow bid on this monster in an auction and it is now taking up space. If anyone wants it you are welcome to it, otherwise it is off to the tip.

 

 

 

powers on, line feed works, but have not plugged it into anything (has a centronics connector).

 

 

In Auckland - not shipping as it is a good 5-10 kg.

Try and find a group to donate it to as that thing is a piece of history. Such as MOTAT or https://museum.cs.auckland.ac.nz/ or try putting it back up on TradeMe.
