Anyone know where we could find a Quotron 801?

  I'm interested in extremely early micros, so, my
 votes:
 Mike computers from Martin Research (esp. 8008 based)
 Scelbi-8H
 Qwint Systems terminals (Z-80 based)
 Intel 4004, 8008, 4040 development systems
 I worked for Martin Reasearch (when its name was
 changed to Qwint) and there were Mike parts all over
 the place as junk, damnit. OTOH, if I listed the stuff
 I threw out in the 80's, people on this list would
 probably cry...
 I wanted a Scelbi so bad I got the prints and manual;
 with these, I'm building an 8008 machine that will
 combine the best parts of the designs of the Scelbi,
 Mark-8, and Mike computers. I have also resurrected
 the SCELBAL computer language and have modified it to
 be ROMMable. I've written a Windows-based 8008
 emulator/debugger for it that runs SCELBAL on a
 virtual TTY on the screen or out a serial port.
 Interestringly, even a stock, fully loaded Scelbi-8H
 didn't have enough address space to run SCELBAL!
 A few people (on this list) are (hopefully) beta
 testing the emulator/debugger. Combined with a
 completely restored ADM-3A and some paper tape
 punches/readers, I hope to have a maintainable,
 demonstratable,  working model of a 70's home
 computing setup.
