[gui-talk] CCTV's for the asking

[tribble]

Hi all -- I am getting nowhere trying to place my old CCTV's where they can 
be of use.  I am moving a week from today. I posted an ad on nfbofnc for 
anyone who would like an old CCTV, but got no reply, so I'm posting it here 
in case there are some local yokels who might know who might want my old 
equipment.

Details: I have left 1 black and white and one color CCTV that I can no 
longer use.  (Actually I have been unable to use them since 1999 due to 
vision loss, but I kept them to continually test my vision. Now we are 
moving and we don't want to lug them across country yet again.)  I already 
found a home for one of the black and white sets, but the above 2 sets are 
still available. They are in good working order.  The B&W set is older and 
uses the now obsolete vidicon technology in the camera. What this means is 
that when the vidicon tube burns out, you won't be able to get it repaired. 
But it is still in very good condition. The color set uses an older chip 
camera when those first came out. It also is very nice for blowing up 
pictures. It is even nice if you have old fashioned picture negatives, you 
can flip the colors to reverse to see what the pictures are. My mother, who 
is sighted but has trouble reading small print, loves the color set to look 
at old pictures and read documents, but she is even willing to part with it 
to avoid packing it and dragging it to our new home.

The B&W set is in one piece -- a TSI Voyager 2, and the color is in 2 
pieces, camera and 19 inch monitor.

If you know of a school or library in NC who might want these sets, please 
get in touch -- my email is lauraeaves at yahoo.com
I would only hope for a gift acknowledgement for tax purposes.
If you want to grab one for your own use, send me email and we can work out 
the details.
Again, I am completely unable to use these sets any longer. They however 
have grown up with me and gotten me through school and 12 years of 
employment and beyond, and they still work (according to my mother who says 
the pictures are clear).

Hope to hear from someone soon.  I am in the Charlotte area.
