Well, hopefully this community is about celebrating people that have an

Saving substantial hardware involves a substantial personal investment in
time and money. So, Todd, well done, congratulations on your buy, and thanks
for taking care of a rare 026. And if you need any tips for restoration I
would be happy to help (I have an 026 and an 029, both fully functional
now).

Agreed. I've always half-way wanted a 026, and I have no doubt that $899 is
a reasonable price (for me). The only thing stopping me is no system to hook
it up to. But then, there's always the classiccmp "law of attraction" ;)

I may need help with the 029. It was bought "functional" but the
modules are out of it. Since I have a working 129, I have not gotten
into this one. Anyone with a huge desire for it, we could talk about it.
I'm really looking for / dreading how to get a reliable reader. I have
"gooed" one Documation 200 and have another not powered on by me, and
also an M1000, and would be interested in anyone who has successfully
followed thru on all the discussions about the rollers as to how they
did it and how they are working now.
Please, we all have archives, and know there are huge threads about this
in the list. I'm interested in an update with this query.
thanks
