Keep or assemble???

Without question, I would keep it as an unbuilt kit. For one, it is much more of a rarity that way. Second, the unassembled parts can more easily be copied for new "reproduction" kits. I believe that someone is now selling IMSAI reproduction kits. Just my opinion, Rob BTW: I retrieved much of my Altair stuff from my parents attic yesterday. I did not see the VDM-1 manual, but I will look again. -----Original Message----- From: Cini, Richard [SMTP:RCini@congressfinancial.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 2:20 PM To: 'ClassCompList' Subject: Keep or assemble??? Hello, all: I'm wondering, without creating flame bait, the pros and cons of keeping a computer kit versus assembling it? I have an unbuilt Sinclair ZX81 kit that I'm toying with assembling. I also have a TV Typewriter-6 kit. I bought the TVT6 for my KIM-1 and the ZX81 I got in a trade. Thoughts? Rich ========================== Richard A.
