hi folks
wife is leaning on me (hi honey!)
to help unclutter the house by selling my faithful
but alas rarely used Rainbow 100
(she got a nice grant, bought a nice mac, etc...)
It's in great condition, basically only used as a terminal,
a 1983 vintage 100 with basically no additions.
No hard disk, no graphics card, 64k (no typo!) RAM, monochrome monitor
but has never had even a hint of a problem mechanically.
Only software I have is CPM80/86 and Turbo Pascal
(wow, serious nostalgia) plus a few dorky assembler programs I wrote.
Question is:
1 How much would be a fair price for this aged but well-kept machine?
2 What/where/how is the best way to sell?
3 I remember seeing an ad for a place that buys used DEC micros,
  DecTech or something like that but can't seem to find them now;
  any leads?
I'm not trying to make money on this, just a fair deal.
I  actually posted a similar request last year but life became
very complicated and I vanished for a while. Now, she REALLY wants
me to get this taken care of so I would be very grateful for any help
in selling this fine old mare. I would be happy to donate it to a
charitable cause if you know of one that uses Rainbows.
Thanx for your help,
