To anyone interested,

I did not state a price, but subsequent inquiries were told that they  
were $10 each plus $4.95 shipping.  I also explained that the cases  
were cracked and the staples in the instruction manuals were rusted.   
But the computers themselves are in good shape.  The $10 is just to  
cover the effort to dig them out and pack them up for shipping.

I have just received a Polhemus computer from Celestaire.
    

Wasn't aware that Celestaire carried them (at least I can't find them
on their online catalog), was it a special offering maybe?

At any rate, I got one of those on EBay a year or so ago but haven't
had time to play with it yet, though with several of us re-visiting the
"manual plotting mode" I did break it out and put it on my "To Do"
pile. So maybe a bunch of us can learn how to work that one together,
at least we've got a resident expert (i.e. Gary) to run questions by if
needed.
