Sol 20 with Toyota Monitor $1500
A guy I know is selling his Sol. He is in Brooklyn and he wants to sell this and have it picked up. He won't ship and I don't blame him. I have a picture but I know the email thread doesn't allow pictures so I can send to you Here is his post Processor Technology Sol-20 Terminal Computer + Koyo Monitor + Manuals Selling a piece of digital history. Purchased in 1977, it predates the Big Three: the Apple II, Commodore PET and Radio Shack Tandy TRS-80. It includes 24K RAM, GraphicAdd board, Music System board, Koyo Monitor, 9 manuals, data cassettes (I don’t know if they are still readable). Sadly, this beauty no longer functions properly but the right hands might be able to bring it back to life. It does power up, but the output is a random series of characters (see photo). All IC chips are in sockets, so it’s possible that reseating them might help, but I’m no hardware expert. It is being sold as is. Cassettes: Basic 5, Extended Cassette Basic, Music System, Gamepac1, Games. It’s a beauty to display for a collector or a promising project to restore for a techie.

I did not think of that, of course. Still a little creepy if you ask me.
