I have a copy of the February 1970 Raytheon 706 Computer User's Manual. Basically it's a 16-bit mini computer. The system monitor is a program called X-RAY (theon) and the 706 was paired with an ASR 33. Bill On Mon, Sep 24, 2018 at 2:49 PM William Donzelli via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrot

Hi Paul, shipping is automatically calculated by ebay, there should be a small calculator icon by the shipping info on that listing. Since it's up for auction, I cant gurantee you will win, but best of luck! I am happy to ship to any address the winner provides, and I take great care to pack things
