OK, I didn't post a price.  So sue me! :-)  I can let you know the
ballpark.  Purchase price 1 year ago was $3400.  Ghias are collector's
items.  Best offer over $2500 takes it.

My son's school is selling Gold C Saving Spree coupon books again this
year.  There are quite a few "two-fer" offers (buy one and get another
one free).  These include fast food restaurants (McDonalds, Taco Time,
Burger King, Skippers), Act III theaters, Portland Beavers, and Portland
Winter Hawks (there are restrictions on some of these).

There are also two-fers for the Wax Works and Undersea Gardens in
Newport, one hour of whale-watching off Depoe Bay, and the Safari Game
Park in Bandon.  If you go up to Seattle, the Woodland Park Zoo, the
Aquarium, and the Space Needle all have two-fers.  

There are a lot of other coupons for a percentage off things at Fred
Meyer, G.I. Joe's, and other stores.  Take 20% off a purchase at
J.K. Gill's, for example.

If you use coupons, these books should pay for themselves with the
first few uses.  The book costs a mere $10.  If you would like one,
please send email to me at the address below.  Last day to place
your order is Monday, September 21.

Gotta clean out my workshop...maybe this will help.

Sony KV-1370R 13 inch color TV.  NOT working - seems to be blown
horizontal output transistor.  I'll include the schematic.  $20.

New sheet feeder for Okidata 182/3 printers.  In the box.  $15.

PA speakers.  2 speakers - with a 10 inch and 2 piezo tweeters
per box.  Includes a stage stand for one of them.  $50 for the
whole lot.

Little Sears electrostatic air cleaner.  Was $80 new and is
in perfect shape.  $15.

Dual 1225 turntable with cartridge and dustcover.  Works fine,
nice shape, and for the price of 2 CD's...  $30.

McIntosh 1700 receiver.  A classic.  Last of the tube (tuner)
units.  50 watts per channel.  $250.

Ektagraphic slide projector with 3M cassette system that drives
the slide projector.  Has record capability as well as play so
you can make up slide shows that automatically run the projector.
All in a grey hard travel case.  WORKS FINE!  $175.

Telex Caramate slide projector/viewer system.  Again a cassette
unit so you can automate slide shows if desired, but this is
all in a cube shaped setup that can work as a table top back
screen viewer (about 15" picture size), OR as a projector.  
Standard Kodak projector (Ektagraphic) so it can be used just
as a slide projector.  $200.

That's good for a start...maybe more to follow.  Anyway call or email.

I am looking for an apple cider press that could also be used as a grape
crusher (or the other way around...) I only need a small capacity unit.

If you know where I can get such an item, please let me know.

I'd recommend that you switch to Dick's code for working with MX gateways, since
it is something that other people can actually get. No need to support a method
for my sole use, which, since I won't be releasing that code, is what it will
be. However, I wouldn't change anything (or would remove it altogether)
until/unless:

1) Dick actually gets it all working satisfactorily (may already have).
2) Provides instructions for actually setting up an MX gateway using this
transport method. The instructions will differ from those that come with the MX
gateway code, and should therefore be included with DECUS uucp if the method
code is included.
3) A section is added to the user guide incorporating or (more likely) pointing
to those instructions.
4) A note is added to the instructions in the MX distribution mentioning that if
you are running DECUS uucp (or using its newsskim.com) you should use the
alternate instructions that come with UUCP.

In other words, someone needs to put forth a little effort to get all the pieces
in place. There's no sense changing from one code fragment to another when
neither will work with the code and documentation at hand. 

Actually, if Dick's code is included, I'll almost certainly use it, since it is
a cleaner integration than what you get by following the instructions you get
with MX. Of course, I'll then actually have to finish moving my gateways to MX,
which requires getting my uucp up to date. :-)
