Hi All,

I've got three HP-85s , two are the 'A' model and one is the 'B' model. I'm
looking to sell them (or trade for PDP-8 stuff), consider this a silent auction
:-)

Here's the scoop:

        - None of them have any ROM modules.

Unit #1:
        HP-85 Serial #2204A54765
        Includes printer.
        It is missing the tape drive.
        It is missing the key cap for the 'up arrow' key.
        Powers up, gives "Error 23 - Self Test"
        (presumably, 'my tape drive is missing')
        Typed the standard
                10 FOR I = 1 TO 10
                20 DISP I
                30 NEXT I
                40 END
        Diagnostic and it works fine.
        Printer appears to work but I don't know
        how to test it.

Unit #2:
        HP-85 Serial #2023A08736
        Includes printer.
        It is missing the tape drive.
        Has all its key caps.
        Powers up, gives "Error 23 - Self Test"
        (presumably, 'my tape drive is missing')
        Typed the standard
                10 FOR I = 1 TO 10
                20 DISP I
                30 NEXT I
                40 END
        Diagnostic and it works fine.
        Printer appears to work but I don't know
        how to test it.

Unit #3:
        HP-85B Serial #2510B49048
        Includes printer.
        Includes the tape drive.
        Has all its key caps.
        Does NOT power up.
        I have verified the fuse is good but
        not done any other work on it.

They weigh about 15 lbs each so they are pretty inexpensive to ship UPS in
the continental US.

Terms are basically buyer pays actual postage plus their offer amount.
Auction closes at midnight 3/23/99 (Tuesday) Pacific Standard Time. I'll
keep all bidders confidential and updated as to the current offer so they
may revise their bid. Last update from me will be Tuesday 3/23/99 around
5PM PST.

Email me (cmcmanis_at_mcmanis.com) if you're interested or have any questions.
