are these decent machines? Too far from me. do these use a special curved screen? Pretty much like the American Advents at the time if so. Not really a good picture without the right screen.

These are not "decent", free is too expensive especially when you consider that most places now charge for disposal of electronics so you can't even throw it away without it costing you, and throw it away is pretty much all you're really going to get any satisfaction from doing...

Tell us how you really feel!
Anyway, yeah, it's only cool as a vintage / curiosity thing.
The guy does have the screen, too, apparently.
Anyway, Elaine - you can always upgrade it with this addon so it'll have the quality of an LCD projector too!
