Not really a Lisp language issue, but...

Some time ago, I rescued a Symbolics LM-2 from the scrap grinder.
I have the processor (with magtape interface), two video displays,
two keyboards, and what appears to be a Chaosnet transceiver.  I do
not have the disk drive, tape drive, mouse, proper video cables (though
I do have a few very short cables from other equipment that seem to work),
or software.

The equipment appears to be in good physical condition, and the little
hex display on the front shows what would appear to be sensible things
upon reset.

As it seems impractical to revive and use this machine in the absence
of one or more similar companion machines, I would like to know if any
person or organization could use it to advantage, either as an operating
machine, or as a source of spares.

If you believe that you could make good use of the machine, please send
me a note describing your current configuration of similar equipment
and your intended use.

Any informed statements that the beast is useless to anybody and should
be sent back to the scrap grinder would also be appreciated.
