[Info-vax] VR-201s for free

[will_kranz at softhome.net]

Hi:
I don't follow this group often, and live in CT so odds are it won't
work,
but I love my Pro 350 and wouldn't mind having a spare if you still
have it
and would consider shipping.  Might be prohibitive.

I had a number of Rainbows and Decmates so would love a spare vr201
but not enough to ship.  On the Rainbow I've figured out how to
redirect to the come port.
I'm amazed that any of yours still work.  Mine all burned out.

Regards, Will
