Retired EE living in the high desert of New Mexico. Love working with the old technologies some of which I never got to use professionally. Current project is a MARK-5. Been playing with a couple of homebrew projects, on and off, for years. One is Intel 3000 series and the other is with ECL. May never finish them but they're fun to keep putzing with.
I'm Thomas, an enthusiast of all things scientific/technical/historical and a lover of the history of computing. I have a Mark-8 computer I built from an early 2000's kit (not an original Mark-8 from the 1970's) and a collection that includes an Altair, and many other 1970's vintage computers. I also have an original Kenbak-1, and have made Kenbak-1 reproductions long ago. Always happy to meet others with similar interests, but am sadly limited in time as work and family are always taking priority over my many hobbies. Very impressed with Artem's site and kits. Hope it's successful!
Wow, you have a stacked collection! I don't have any originals but I do have a few reproductions of various 1970s computers - that's my favorite decade.
