[RTTY] ST-8000A on eBay (Tom Osborne)

[George Henry]

I sold one on e-Bay last year, part of an obsolete ophthalmic ultrasound 
machine...  Don't recall off-hand what the buyer paid for it, but the 
shipping was up there:  sucker weighed about 48 pounds!  (would have weighed 
a third of that if he had let me disassemble it & ship just the scope...)

Nice orange cabinet, too.  Not the normal Tek powder blue.
