What can you do with it?

SSTV standards have changed so much in the last several years that
I've found my 400 pretty useless.

Just a collectible really - they look cool in a shack, and harkens back
to the 'good old days' - I have fond memories of my mentor using his
Robot 'green screen' monitor with the 400 converter - slower than
molasses to draw a screen, and absolute MAGIC! If I weren't in
a 'get rid of stuff' mode, I'd snatch it up just to have it in my shack!

But as an SSTV rig, yeah - it's useless really. You can get STUNNING
quality with modern converters into your computer, so the ol' Robot
is just a relic of the past. And $45 is a really good price, IMO, but
would be better if it had the monitor with it...
