Looking for some spare parts for those ol' broken down cybers in your basement?
Well, the Computer Based Education Research Lab (CERL) at the University of
Illinois is trading in their old machines for new ones and is looking for
buyers.
	They have a Cyber 73 for sale which would be usable when it's pulled
out, and, additionally, a Cyber 6500 which will be "removed without a lot of
concern for its well-being" and is considered suitable for spare parts.
Also, 2M of ECS is available, as well as several other peripherals.  They say
they prefer to sell the ECS the person buying the mainframe(s).

For more information, contact Tina Gunsalus at (217) 333-2375.
Do not contact me.

	Reminds me of when they took the CDC6600 out of our machine room --
It was pretty well wired into the walls and floors, and to get it out they
took an axe to it. Literally, severed its umbilical with an axe.  It was
a sad sight, I'm sure.
