It depends how much free time you have. I would just

All of the ICs are socketed in this 680.
Assuming you toasted the entire computer I could sell
you every single IC
for $50.
I might take you up on that...
I was wondering about getting a copy of VTL-2 in ROM/EPROM.
Just a pointer, when the Altair 680 is working
*properly* the heatsinks
(especially the upside down one) are hot/burn to the touch. Same thing
with the 2W resistor.
That's good to know.
You might want to replace the fuse with a new one.
Those old ones blow
under proper loads.
Good to know as well.
I have schematics for this computer if you need them.
Yes, definately. Thanks!
