Ha ha,

Too bad you don't have the Altair to go with it! Those of you who are old
enough may remember the first ones... 16 address line switches and 8 data
buss switches all with LED's. Oh and a push button labeled STEP... try to do
a boot with that! I'm interested. I live in Ojai. Wavetuner@xxxxxxxxx

Thanks

if anyone is interested, I have a large constant voltage (saturable core
type) power supply - this ought to be ready to go as a ballast or whatever -
it's heavy and in my way - weighs somewhere between 100 and 200 pounds, I
suppose - if memory serves, it;s 1600 watt capacity - in a metal case with
outlets, 110 v cord and stuff - I'm near los angeles - scrap price for
something like this is around 50 cents per pound, or I could cut the copper
off and throw the rest away - but maybe someone here can use it.  $35 to $50
and it's yours.  if interested, just let me know off the list.  This came
out of a doctor's office a long time ago - it protected a old 8080 based
computer (altair?) used for billing.  I've had it for decades, time for it
to go.
