Subject: CCTV for the asking

Hi all --
I have been trying to place my 3 CCTV's with partially blind persons or
schools or libraries where they are needed in the state of NC before we
move. We are scheduled to move next Monday and so far only one person
has taken a CCTV.
(Note: My vision is no longer good enough to use a CCTV; I had 3, 2
black and white and one color unit.  One of the B&W sets was taken as I
said, but I still have the other 2.) If you have need of one and can
come pick it up, please send me a note.
The units are old -- the B&W set was purchased in 1984 and has an old
fashioned vidicon tube in the camera; the color set is newer and uses a
chip camera.  The B&W set works great in spite of the old technology,
but since no one uses vidicon cameras any more, you would neve2r be able
to get it repaired if the tube burned out.

These CCTV's are near as and dear to my heart as anything electronic can
be -- they got me through school and 12 years of employment and beyond,
but I am absolutely unable to use them any more and the time has come to
place them somewhere where they can be of use.
If you are in school and you think the school can use it, perhaps they
could send me a donation acknowledgement for tax purposes, which is all
I would ask for them.

Please send email to [email protected] if interested.
TIA
