The saga : I went back to Goodwill this morning and the Terminet30 was still
sitting in the same spot OUTSIDE the store in an alcove. I went in and asked
for a stealdeal but ended up 'donating' 20 bucks for it. Backed up my Saturn
wagon and found out why it was still sitting in the alcove. Must weigh 80
pounds.
The thing is in very good condition, no dents or dings or cracks that I can
see. Inside is very clean. Console, as you will see, is perfect. Keys still
have a very solid feel. Underneath the console there was a yellow tag that
said "do not use" so who knows what is wrong with it but it looks great.
I hefted it to my backyard shed, thank goodness for my kids' little red
wagon. There it sits with the console and tape unit removed. Nothing else
would come apart, the damn selectric on the top is where all the weight is I
think. No way of unplugging it from the stand.
It's in Scarborough. If anyone wants it they can have it for $21.60 Canadian
plus whatever shipping YOU can arrange. Or pick it up, I'll help you to the
car. Here are the pics I took of it :

There are 15 shots of the unit. I should have taken one of the inside too.
Seriously, if no one wants it, what the hell do I do with it? I collect
portables! And what vintage is it? 60's? Later?
