My wife is experiencing a serious outbreak of “New Year cleanout syndrome” and is insisting I dispose of stuff sitting in the corner of my office. One such item is a long unused 861v4 with a typical set of cards but the power supply is suspect and almost certainly needs replacing.

Given I’m in Australia there is a limited market for used M gear locally and the cost of shipping an 861 to the UK/Europe/USA might be an issue for anyone contemplating buying it. Unfortunately I do not have the 861’s original box so that’s an addditional issue if it has to be shipped.

So - should I try selling it or just strip out the cards and sell them separately and consign the remains of the 861 to the local tip?

Cards:
VS00 - Video Switch
TP00 - Tape Output
IA00U - Analogue Input
OA03 - Analogue Output
IE42 - Digital Input
OE12 - Digital Output
SL0 - S-Lead patch
ID40 - Soolos
C00 - Computer
