It was way cheaper than IBM and worked for years until I moved on up to a 486! I wish I'd kept one of those catalogs. I think I bought the computer in 1989. Ahhh, memories.

However, he always had some sort of unique product that somehow did something in a better or more clever way. I bet his external signal booster was billed as an advantage in the catalog.

I believe it had LCD numbers and it came with a signal booster (sold separately). Why it didn't already have a built-in signal booster was a bit of a mystery to me. I've owned other shortwave radios - some better, some worse.

If only the fiber brush came with the microscope to examine the record grooves. Or 100 blank cassette tapes!<br /><br />Anonymous, He still has the equalizers that have light up to the music!

What sounded so inviting and easy to install and hook up required a more advanced electronics degree than I had. It ended up being sent to Goodwill years later. The quality of the cameras in those days was pretty bad as well.MuddyValleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13561027881611420247noreply@blogger.com
