[SOLD] an XTant kit
« on: Tue, 16 February 2016, 17:43:41 »
Although the XTant is a great project and has been sitting on the shelf for a long time, I have concluded that I will probably never really build or use it like I should.

For sale is the PCB, plate, xwhatsit, 2 mats (1 black 1/6" (~1.5mm) art foam and 1 very thin packing plastic, a near-complete and ugly but acceptable XT (with nasty cable removed) for donor parts, a beautiful empty XT case, the 10 custom 1.25u printed keys from Unicomp, and incidental hardware.

Back when this project was being formulated, the curved plate was the difficult and expensive piece - as I remember we paid $90 for them. The caps from Unicomp was a >$30 order, the XT itself >$40, and there was additional shipping and incidentals for a total of probably $180 or so.

I will sell the lot for $150  $125  shipped domestic US (or $185 international if buyer assumes the risk) but I would prefer domestic just to keep it simpler and safer.

That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.

Better to re-use than start new.
