Description:
Originally designed and built in the mid 60s, this English language home runaround is still in good condition, and has had several upgrades. It is a highly portable device and is a rare and sought after thin and lightweight model (not that kind of model).
Basic programming in the 70s and 80s, was followed by a full multi system interface installation in the 90s. This unit will connect to PCs and Macs via it’s integrated finger link™. In the last ten years the unit has been programmed for French language, as well as the recent addition of an endurance module (unusual in a unit of this age). The unit has run as far as 150 miles without significant refuelling or downtime. If unattended this unit automatically falls into sleep mode, sometimes for up to 10 hours.
The unit has been kept in good order, and regularly maintained, and historically it has required below average levels of maintenance and associated costs. Around 20 years ago the unit was reprogrammed onto vegetarian fuel and as such has a lower environmental impact than many similar units of this age and quality. As is common of models from this era, this model is highly reactive to sound (music) and visual arts, and even comes with its own random form of sound and visual art creation, that to be honest still needs some work and programming, perhaps with the addition of a new interface.
