A neighbor wishes to gift his AT&T 615 terminal to someone who will take care of it. It is free, but you will need to pay for shipping.

If there is no interest in the entire terminal he'll part with just the keyboard.

Shipping from the United States, ZIP code 78613.

I’d be interested in the board! Got a new ultrasonic cleaner I’ve been meaning to test out. Any chance you know what switches are on there?

Wouldn't that involve you mean to harvest the switches to use separately? For the shape this is in, it'd be lovely to see it cared for in its complete form.

I was more so hoping to clean the caps. But looking at this I wouldn’t want to mess it up; I think it should go to someone who has been hunting around for it, my bad! It’s a fine piece and I hope whoever gets it cherishes it.

Edit: I asked about the switches cause I haven’t seen this model before, I’m newer to vintage keebs

Forgive my ignorance but which systems does it need to be connected to, in order to function as intended?

I'm interested in getting this for the Computer History Museum

I'd vote for this.

EDIT: If they want it, I'd kick in $10 for shipping, too.

I second this as well. Definitely a worthy cause.

Wow! is that the same Computer History Museum that has the working IBM 1401 mainframe? That's impressive...

@XMIT definitely get it to Al Kossow at CHM if you can work it out.

It's a bit late here but I'll reach out to Al as well as the "seller".

snuci you were the first person who came to mind so your recommendation to give it to the museum sealed the deal. I only visited the museum once while I lived in the Bay Area. Fond memories.

Thanks @XMIT. Many more people will experience it and get better use at CHM so it's going to a great place. I appreciate it.
