*Early* Word Processor, free in CT

thetered's post reminds me...

I've got an A.B. Dick Magna II in the garage that really needs to leave within a month.  It's an impressive monster of early or pre-PC technology, consisting of a very heavy full-tower type case and a custom teletype unit with a small LED matrix display.  Magnetic card storage (bare punchard-size bits of 'floppy' material) was used, and part of the heft is devoted to the vacuum pump used to suck them in and out of the unit.

Its twin seems to have already met the dump while I wasn't looking, and unfortunately I think all the manuals and rare media went with it.

Pickup in Ridgefield, CT, 06877; reply, e-mail, or PM if you're interested.
