     EXHIBIT 99.16 - PLAN FOR STOCK REPURCHASE.

Stock Repurchase Plan as authorized by the Company Board of Directors,
November 15, 1996

                ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

                      Plan for Stock Repurchase
                          January 1, 1997

The following plan to repurchase the Company's stock is approved for
execution by resolution of the Board of Directors. 

It is the plan and intent of  Electronic Systems Technology, Inc.
("the Company") to repurchase the common stock of the Company from
"open market" sources, in a manner most advantageous to the Company,
within the amounts and time limitations described below.  The purpose for the
repurchase of the Company's stock is to provide stability to, and increase
the value of, the Company's stock due to Management's belief that the
Company's stock is currently undervalued.  It is not the intent of this 
stock repurchase plan to repurchase the Company's stock in an effort to
privatize the Company, nor is the repurchase plan to be construed as a
tender offer for repurchase of the Company's outstanding stock .

During the duration of the Company's stock repurchase plan employees,
directors, and officers of the Company, as well as its affiliates, should not 
purchase or sell any of their holdings of the Company's securities, nor
should there be any attempts to exercise existing stock options for the 
Company's securities.   

The maximum number of shares the Company will repurchase from any single
shareholder during the duration of the stock repurchase plan will not exceed 
10,000 total shares.

The stock repurchase plan (the "Plan") shall be governed by all applicable
securities rules, regulations, and limitations, particularly Securities 
and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18. The Plan will be performed in
accordance with the following guidelines:

Amount: 	The amount of $100,000 of the Company's available funds will be
         allocated for the Plan.  Of this amount $90,000 will be allocated
         for actual repurchases of the Company's stock, and $10,000 will 
         be allocated for associated fees.  For funds allocated for
         associated fees of the plan, any amount not expended for fees
         will be available for actual stock repurchases of the Company's
         stock.  	 

Duration:	The Plan will commence at the discretion of the Company immediately
          following January 1, 1997 and will continue until the Plan is
          discontinued at the discretion of the Company or the occurrence of
          any of the following:  1) The allocated funds are exhausted 
          through repurchase, 2) The Company's stock price reaches a bid
          price of $1.00 per share, or 3) the date of March 31, 1997.

The stock repurchase transactions of the Company will be governed by
the following guidelines:




<PAGE>                           Page 1 of 2

OPEN MARKET PURCHASES:

BROKER:	Bids and purchases of stock from or through only one broker or dealer
        on any one day.  The 	exception being for purchases not solicited 
        by or on behalf of the Company.  Thus, purchases may be made from
        more than one dealer, if the dealer is not directly or indirectly
        purchasing on behalf of the Company.  It will be the responsibility
        of the Broker-Dealer the Company has engaged to repurchase the
        Company's stock to ensure the legitimacy, legality, and compliance of
        the transaction with the guidelines stated in this Plan, as well as
        any other securities regulations which may apply to such transaction.

TIME:  	No bid or purchase of stock until after a current independent bid is
        reported in the Electronic	Bulletin Board NASDAQ System.

PRICE: 	Purchase price may not be above lowest current independent offer
        inclusive of any commissions paid to a broker or dealer.

AMOUNT:	The amount purchased on any particular day, together with purchases
        made through broker-dealers during the preceding five business days,
        may not exceed 1/20th of one percent (0.0005) of the outstanding
        shares, exclusive of shares owned by affiliates.

BLOCK PURCHASES:

In addition to the regular daily amount, the Company may repurchase "blocks"
in the market.  A single purchase qualifies as a block by meeting either the 
volume test or the price test, whichever is more favorable.  Broker-dealers
may not accumulate or sell short to "create" a block. It will be the
responsibility of the Broker-dealer the Company has engaged to repurchase the
Company's stock to ensure the legitimacy, legality, and compliance of the 
transaction with the guidelines stated in this Plan, as well as any other
securities regulations which may apply to such transaction.

VOLUME TEST:   A minimum of 20  round lots and 1/10th of one percent (.001)
of the outstanding shares, exclusive of shares owned by affiliates.
    
                             							or

PRICE TEST:    At least: (1) $200,000 or (2) 5,000 shares; and a total
price of at least $50,000. (Therefore, if the share price is less than $10, a 
Block would be $50,000 or more.)

PRICE:         Purchase price may not be above lowest current independent
offer inclusive of any commissions paid to a broker or dealer.

DISCLOSURE:	Officers of the Company are directed to make the appropriate and
timely disclosures of the above, including press releases as well as Form 8-K 
Report.  Such disclosures shall be made as of the approval of such Stock
Repurchase Plan, as well as reporting the progress of the Plan.
