Ethan,
Does it have any clear photo's of the board? If I could get a good
look at it, I wouldn't mind spending some time to make a replica of it,
I'm doing this for a history presentation project of the original
prototype 2600 I am working on.
I have the magazine at home so I can check tonight, but I'm not sure
there's a picture at all, clear or not. This featured section is a
dense listing, like classified ads, of dozens of machines per page
with feature descriptions and pricing. There are some pictures, but
the largest of them will be under 2" square.
It's a nice snapshot of what was available for sale (including one
that I _have_ seen on eBay, but is still elusive, the Intercept Jr),
but even back then, the intent was to list some basic features so
people could follow up on what looked interesting.
