[Coco] Model 3 Coco 3

Thu Apr 27 06:28:45 EDT 2017

I picked up my second model 2 on Sunday ,from the same guy I talked‎ about, for the princely sum of 'ZERO' dollars. Can u imagine someone just giving away a working model 2, ‎ but he just lost interest and said that it occupied too much space.
Now that I have 2 I really need to find some 8 inch media for them.

Yes... for the "most part", that is exactly how I have acquired most of my
collection.  Space issues forced me to pass on some nice items, like a
PDP8/a (still would like an "e") and an ASR33 Teletype.

I was given the Model 16, but the friend from whom I was renting a small
condo from had lost his job and the bank foreclosed... so he asked for it
back.
