Randy, I have another 11/73 loaded I was going to put up on EBay , you can
have it for $300. It has a tape drive, RD52, memory, 8 line serial port,
runs, its missing one switch on the front and the bottom of the stand is
cracked.. other than that it runs micro rsx - happy machine. I think I might
be able to dig up an RX50 for it as well.


If you want it or anyone else please email me.
