Talking Mine is coming along -- new parts

My Kenbak is coming along. I spent almost the entire weekend making some parts on my (Sherline) mini-mill.

I had two very nice small fans that I'd pulled from surplus equipment, and some 1/8" x 3" wide aluminum plate stock, so I cobbled together adapter plates to mount in in the Kenbak. The fan near the memory blows in, and the other blows out.

I also made a u-channel bar to hold all the buttons. I tried attaching it with velcro, but that was too thick, so I settled for some vinyl super-strength double-sided tape.

I powered up the unit without chips, and nothing blew up. So far so good!

I'm including pictures. One shows an alternative 60 Watt power supply I have that I might switch to eventually. It will leave the motherboard completely visible.

Astute observers will note that I've reversed my back panel. It is a long, rather embarrassing saga, but all turned out well -- I bet I have the only Kenbak clone signed signed TWICE by John Blakenbaker. (Thanks John!)

I'm having a great time, obviously. Thanks, Grant!
