Ahoy Hams:

I am not a dealer or reseller.

I have for sale the following:

"Dumb" VDT (video display terminal) monitor terminal with keyboard.
Manufactured by AT&T.  Has the 25 pin RS-232 jacks on rear. The
monochrome CRT has perfect brightness, focus, and contrast.
I used it full-time in place of a computer on a packet TNC setup
for a VHF DX packet cluster connection. The beauty of that arrangement
was that I didn't have to tie-up a computer to watch the
DX packet cluster.

To go with that working unit, I have an identical VDT (less keyboard)
for spare parts; e.g.CRT.

Both terminals would be difficult to pack securely so they are available for
$15 if you want to drop by and pick the pair up.

I no longer use a TNC, so I don't need the VDTs any longer.
===================

Microwave Dish
I also available for pickup a heavy duty microwave dish.
Here are the details.

10 foot 9 inch diameter parabolic dish antenna that is thick walled
fiberglass or specialized plastic.  It is not at all damaged and it was for
high-wind service (hurricanes).  It is stamped ML44 on each of the four
pie-shaped sections that bolt together. It was utilized in a 4gHz
point-to-point microwave system.

I noted the labeling on the gunplexor before I disposed of it.  It read:
R.L. Drake, model 2574, low noise amp, 3.7-4.2 Ghz.

I purchased new galvanized bolts, lockwashers, and nuts to fasten the
pie-pieces together. It can be disassembled and transported in a 5' x' 8'
trailer or similar.   $20 if you want the new galvanized
hardware.  The dish is FREE if you don't want the hardware.  You pick up but
I'll help you disassemble it and load it up.
======================

ICOM IC-25A FM 2 meter radio

Also for sale an ICOM 2M FM transceiver IC-25A in its original box.
It has the mobile mounting bracket, original mike equipped with touchtone
pad, original 12VDC power cable, original instruction book, and both styles
of mike holders that fasten to the dash.  This radio has never been utilized
in a vehicle.  It was used in the home station only, on the DX packet
cluster mentioned above, and is clean.  I purchased it new in June '83 for
$309.  Price: $105 shipped within the 48 states.

I am in Beverly Hills near Crystal River, in Citrus County, FL
