Now that I have an idea of the EC-1's general value from members of
the list ...so I don't get screwed selling it blind ...and, as I
learned from my faux pas in stating I was selling it on eBay... In
order to allow members of this forum to have a chance to purchase this
computer prior to my listing it on eBay, here it is.
If you are interested here are my terms:
1. Offers are accepted via email effective 2000 hrs UTC, November 3,
2000 until 2000 hrs
UTC November 6, 2000 ONLY
2. Minimum Offer accepted is $350
3. Buyer pays all actual shipping costs, insurance and any import duty
or customs fees. EC-1
ships on receipt of payment
4. Payment to be by certified funds (cashier's check or money order)
and must be received within
seven days of end of offer. Payment may also be made with a credit
card via PayPal.
5. EC-1 is sold "as-is" with no warrantee or guarantee
I will try to assay the general condition of the computer as
accurately as possible. There are no dents or dings. There are a
some small scratches. The mesh case is dark green in color. The pots
were stiff and two were frozen but were able to be freed up using Caig
Labs DeOxit and seem to work fine. There are chips out of the plastic
screw slots on two of the the balance pots but they still work fine
and it's not noticeable unless you specifically look at them. The
tubes test ok and the chassis appears clean and in good order. I can
find no obvious faults electrically. The computer powers up.... both
filament and high voltage. The meter works and I was able to check
the B+ voltage (right on the money) and balance all the amplifiers at
all 3 working voltages (100,10 and 1 VDC). It comes with the original
operators manual and three of the resistor/capacitor plug ins. No
other plug ins, leads or cables are included. All the knobs and
switches are original and they are in very good condition. I have
tested the unit only this far and all seems well but it is sold
"AS-IS" with no warrantee due to it's age and my inability to test
it's operation further. A picture is available at

If you need more general information, have something you want me to
check or e-mail pictures let me know. My email address is
