Re: been a while...

. . .I still need to post pictures of the final restoration, but I still can't find a place to make the 2P badge for any less that ¥8000 (thats about $80)...ridiculous. Until I get that sorted it's hard to call the restoration finished. Would something like this work? http://www.plaquemaker.com/Pla...

Re: Spacebar bracket replacements

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised. I started out wanting to make replacement up/down paddles for my Tek 370 curve tracer, and, like the brackets, figured I could use the model to make an outline for a laser cutter, but I was curious to see how much Shapeways would charge. Once I saw the price (also a...

Re: Spacebar bracket replacements

That would be nifty. If a keyboard were set up as an 8x8 matrix, then only a ROM change would be required. If rewiring were needed, then it may be simpler just to reproduce the OSI matrix, for up to 64 keys.

BTW, impressive PET site!

I've also been moving into a new house, and have been moving all my retrocomputing stuff into my new lab, so I've had a good look at some of my machines for the first time in a while. I noticed that my Superboard...

Re: C4P restoration(s)

Hi Steve,

That sounds like a good plan. If your first computer has good video, that would be a good place to start. Your new tools should be great for the project. Keep us posted with what you find.

Best of luck,

Dave
