Those are the ones I saw as well... he was asking $25 for a broken
one (but cosmetically pretty good) and $100 for the working ones.

If I remember correctly, they are essentially a BASIC computer with
printer and something similar to a TU58 drive.

It's just that I remember using one at WPI when I was there in the
70's and wanted to get one for my collection...
