Nice snag Jim,
What I remember that stood out with this machine was the reprogrammable
font characters at a time when most of them were fixed. Had a really fun
version of 'Space Invaders' too.....
A worthy add to the collection!

(just when I was starting to wonder)
I get this phone call, and shortly thereafter am the proud possessor of an
Exidy Sourcerer complete with the original documentation, (including the
tech ref - schematics!) monitor, cables, box of tapes, and various third
party books and such! (Dilithium Press - now *that* brings back
memories!)
And oh yes, BASIC in the infamous (slightly modified) 8-Track Tape
cartridge! Recycling at its most unusual! (odd, peculiar, etc...)
Just too much fun! Now, who has some *really* cool games for the thing???
