At $880 I would *hope* I was buying an original. That is just scathingly

It took a while
for some guys on comp.os.cpm to catch on.
I lurk there now and then. I was not sure whether they
were trolling or truly unaware that there were no original
kits, but then someone else clued them in.
Yeah, I guess the only thing that could be original would be the bare
boards. Everything else would just have to be contemporary materials,
at best.
I'm still guessing that the buyer expected to be purchasing an antique,
not a recent creation.
