Aequitron Medical Inc said that&lt;Vantage Properties Inc> has exercised its option to buy 15.3
acres of land from Aequitron for 1.8 mln dlrs.
    Aequitron orginally gave Vantage the option in May 1986 in
exchange for a 100,000 dlr letter of credit, which will be
forfeit if Vantage does not close the deal by April 30,
