Almost Free 1040STf's

[+poobah]

Hi all!

 

Too many computers, not enough space (you all know the drill, right?)

Anyway, I've got a half dozen or so 1040STf machines that need new homes.

 

They all suffer from the same issue: Dead floppy drives. I've swapped a known good drive in them, and they seem to work fine at that point. Alas, new drives would probably cost me almost as much as I could sell them for, so...

 

Here's the deal, I will give away the machines for the cost of shipping.

I'm in Ohio, so it shouldn't be too bad to most places in the U.S.

Drop in a new floppy, and you'll have a nice 1040ST. (These are the machines only, no mice, cords, etc.)

 

If you are interested, shoot me an email or a pm with your zip code and desired ship method, I'll check on the cost and get back to you.

 

First come, first paid, first served.

 

I'd prefer to do it "one to a customer", unless no one ends up wanting them.

 

Naturally, being free and all, they are 'as-is', but I'll run whatever tests you like before shipping to make sure they check out.

 

Enjoy!

 

No not leaving the scene, still got a MegaSTe, 3 TT030's and a Falcon =] (and an XEGS, and a couple Lynxes, and ... well, you see the problem!)

update:

went and checked usps and ups, looking at between $15 and $25 depending on location.

Do you still have any of these 1040STf's to give away? If so, what would it cost to ship to Fremont, NE 68025?

I am looking for 1 working 1040ST Motherboard. Do you have one left?

Hi all,

 

I think I have enough takers, if you replied before this message you are on my list.

 

I'll send pms to all of you with shipping costs, I will be out of town for work from Monday thru Thursday, so the earliest I can ship is Friday.

 

Cheers!

I had a couple of requests for pictures and whatnot.

I took a couple shots and tossed them up on my website, you can see them at:

I know plenty about the "much to my wife's dismay" part. Got one! (Wife and dismay AND a 1040)

The new house is bigger than the old one, yet has less storage space (go figure!)

A lot of my 'computer junk' that used to be 'out of sight, out of mind' no longer is.

 

I may part with one or two of the TT030's - Any idea on what they are worth?

Hi folks,

 

1040 shipping status update:

 

Just got back from the frozen arctic tundra of upstate new york. Needless to say, my flights were seriously delayed (1st was actually cancelled- they rolled us out to the runway, drove down it, decided the weather was too bad to take off, and brought us back to the gate!).

 

Anyway, if you are waiting for an ST from me, I probably wont get to the post office till tomorrow.

 

Thanks!

No rush. Sent me your paypal address and I can send you the $15.

I just posted a couple more of these machines over in the Marketplace category.

 

So peek over there if you are interested.

 

Thanks!
