I purchased an HP85B and a few accessories a while back and I've now  
come to the conclusion that I am not going to have enough time to do  
anything with it. I've verified that the HP85B itself works except for  
the tape drive. It has the sticky capstan problem and will need to be  
repaired. The printer seems to work though.

The collection includes the following:

HP85B
ROM drawer 82936A with the following ROMs:
- plotter/printer 00085-15002
- matrix 00085-15004
- advanced programming 00085-15005

I also have the following modules:

HP-IB Interface 82937A
Opt 001 Serial Interface 82939A
128K Memory Module 82909A

Of course, it would be great to trade this equipment for something  
interesting. At the moment, I'm more interested in music synthesizers  
than in classic computers. I don't really expect anyone on this list  
to offer that sort of trade but if you just happen to have some old  
music stuff laying around that you don't want, I'd love to hear about  
it. In any case, I don't really want to pack this stuff up. I live in  
Bedford, NH and would be happy to give this equipment to someone who  
is willing to come here and pick it up.
