If you are good at fixing stuff       (mostly soldering) you could get a broken machine for $10 or $20. You       also need replacement parts (chips) then. One in good working condition       might start at $150 and above.       --       Andreas              My random thoughts and comments       https://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/2 16/0 57/0 123/130 131 132/174 153/250 203/0       SEEN-BY: 220/70 221/0 1 6 360 226/16 17 227/114 229/101 275 354 426       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 230/0 240/5138 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 261/38       SEEN-BY: 267/800 280/5003 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 322/0 757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 633/267 280 640/1321 1384 712/620 848 770/0 1 3 100 340 772/0       SEEN-BY: 772/1 210 500 2432/390 2454/119       PATH: 770/3 1 712/848 640/1384 221/1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
