Giveaway

"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 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 (cheap almost free)

Also available for pickup is 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.  

The labeling on the gunplexor 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-sections 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 at my house and I'll 
help you disassemble it and load it up.

Located in Beverly Hills, FL near Crystal River, Citrus County.
