Full text of the message, although the listing also contains a scan of a 
manual cover:

My dad bought & used the 4051 series computers for many, many years, and 
accumulated several 4051 computers, peripherals, etc. He bought his 
first one in 1976, it was an amazing computer! Believe it or not, he was 
still programming the beast until about 3 years ago. So several of these 
computers still work. These things are RARE as hen's teeth now, and he 
has a lot of parts, even a screen for one that is new-old-stock still in 
the box (this is the computer that had the cool vector graphics 
screen!). I don't have pictures yet, but will get some. I want $2000 
bucks for the whole collection of stuff. great find for a 
collector/tinkerer, as these don't show up very often. cash only, no checks.

As the URL says, this is in Austin, Texas.  $2000 seems kinda rich to 
me, but maybe to someone on this list it is worth it. I watch austin 
craigslist frequently and vintage computer gear doesn't show up all that 
often.

I am not the seller; I don't know the seller; do your own vetting. 
Sorry, I'm not available to pick this up and ship it to a non-local 
buyer.  Contents may settle during shipping.  Your mileage may vary.
