Martin regularly posts to the "altair computer club", Cromemco and S-100 mailing lists. It would probably be polite to approach him through one of those lists. Bill S. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

A slow day at the museum with a few moderate interest people getting a half hour tour. And also a dozen light interest people. Bill Intereidden stopped by to size up parts for the rack that holds the TR-20. He is working on getting this machine working as well as improving the display. -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President Vintage Computer Federation
