Radius PrecisionColor ADB - unwanted!

Hi all, I found one of these colour calibrators at a car boot today in Wandsworth - it's in shrink wrap still! I don't have a use for it but wanted to rescue it, does anyone have a need for it? £10 + P&P.

Pics to come soon!

I had one of those and also had no use for it. An interesting thing about it is it includes a set of Pantone color thingies -- at least, the one I had did. A bunch of bits of cardboard with a different color on each one. I sold mine to a fellow who was interested in the Pantone thingies.

As the purchaser, I humbly admit I am getting lots of use out of the PANTONE triangles and none out of the calibrator

Cameron, that's wonderful that you're getting good use out of those triangles! They were just taking up space here.

I've got a really old Pantone Book that lists the percentages for mixing from their translucent printing ink color set. I used it for a rough guesstimation starting point in mixing my opaque sign enamels and screen printing inks.

I've got a Radius PrecisionView 2150 that was my main production workstation/playstation monitor until agout 2 1/2 years ago. I got it as a local pickup off eBay up in the BBApple after my Radius PrecisionColor 20 got fuzzy enough to be put out to pasture. It lived to a ripe old age as the 640 x 480 VCR Movie Monitor replacement for a 5xxx's 15" POS. CRT in my MultiMediaTelCoRack until about 2004!

If you haven't found a use for the calibrator, I'd love to play around with it! Gimme a price or a list of 68k iWantBarterBits if you'd like to see it put to "good" use as a playtoy! [
