To: Multiple recipients of list IMAGELIB

Hello: In order to assist a project monitoring environmental
conditions and disasters in the former Soviet Union, I'm looking
for a good, cheap, videodisc player ready to ship to Vladivostok
around December 10.  Preferably, I'd like to find a Pioneer model
2000, 4000, or V8000- the player must have a serial port- that
still has some useful life in it, to be used to access NASA videodiscs
of space shuttle photography.

We have a modest bequest from the Grateful Dead's philanthropy to pay for the videodisc player (and NTSC monitor). I'm hoping to find a good used one and turn the money saved into rubles better used strategically on the ecological front lines.
