It is complete but the cables were disconnected in order to move it in pieces several years ago. There are many spare parts (from another 029 taken apart years ago) and it has the complete CE documentation. Free to someone who will give it a good home and take care of it.

Ben, OK that's fine; however, please know that every email from you that I have seen on the list appears as an "Outlook Item" attachment, rather than a regular email. Once I open the attachment your email appears. No big deal, but odd. You are not the only one whose emails come through like this; there are two others on the list with the same issue. I am not sure what causes this, or whether it's "you" or "me". Here's a picture of what I see when I look at your one of your emails. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65762317/forums/odd_email.jpg BTW I am using Outlook 2016 on a PC.

The Reddit article was very informative. Thanks for posting the link. The Reddit article discusses conjugation of carbon double-bonds and how that affects light absorption (color). I found a useful discussion of that at: https://people.chem.umass.edu/samal/269/color.pdf A Brief Discussion on Color. Herb -- Herbert R.

Another great mind is gone. http://news.mit.edu/2016/seymour-papert-pioneer-of-constructionist-learning… Notice the picture showing Lego on his desk! He invented Logo so it's probably the same kit currently on my desk that we'll show at Maker Faire in October.
