Altair Kit #33 Arrives
Hi all,
Altair Kit Serial #33 has landed in Australia. It arrived yesterday. Silly FedEx - my phone numbers were on the label, yet they could not contact me until Friday last week, after holding the package for duty since Monday last. All is well that ends well. Couple of observations regarding the packing lists. 88-CPU Kit 1x Axial 100J - 10pf component is marked 10J - which is 10pf - incorrect text 1x Axial 221J - 20pf component is marked 20J - which is 20pf - incorrect text 12V Zener diode is marked 1N4742 5.1V Zener diode is marked 1N4733 88-DC kit 1x Axial 221J - 22pf component is marked 22J - which is 22pf - incorrect text. Fasteners 10x M3-12 phillps counter sink - missing. #6-32 1 1/8 - missing #6-32 1 1/4 - missing Overall - excellent quality kit and manual. Not too worried about the screws, I can get those locally. This is my Christmas present - so no working on it until the 25th! I plan to try and follow MITS assembly steps and refer to Grant's photo illustrated manual. It certainly captures the essence and flavor of 70's computing! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. |
