Default 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.
