[vcf-midatlantic] Found: Boxed Fairchild Channel F

[Matt Reynolds]

Tony can have it.  He wants it more than I do.

I'm too cheap and on the fence to deprive a collector of something they
really want.

Thanks for sending it out, never seen one in the box (I wasn't around when
they were new!)

My parents' unit broke before I was born.  They upgraded to a Colecovision
after this (which I inherited!)

Have fun with it!
