I recently drove several hours to pick up a Model III and a Model 4.
If Murfreesboro, Tennessee were a little closer I would gladly pick
it up for spare parts. Or even to buiold up as I hhave at least one
spare disk and RS232 controller. BYt, sadly, I lack the time to make
such a trip (the distance isn't really relevant :-).
Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with it.
