Kenbak-1 discoveries

Hi all, I finally have more news from the Kenbak-1 front. Earlier this year I posted a message on this list that I discovered a Kenbak-1. Well as it turned out the source I had the machine from had 7 (!) more Kenbak-1s. After long negotiations we finally agreed on a price for the collection of 6 machines and incredible paperwork. (The seller wanted to keep one machine) After some more struggle to get the money together I finally purchased what I consider the "find of my life". Here is what I could acquire: - 6 Kenbak-1 computers - the original schematics (a big folder!) - original training films from 1974 and the early eighties. - an original sales flyer from CTI, a company that tried to market the Kenbak-1. - programming manuals, flow charts etc. I drove all from Nova Scotia, Canada to Charleston, South Carolina to pick the lot up. (3000 miles) More information about the computers, where they are from and most importantly photos of the Kenbaks are on my website: http://www.computermuseum.20m.com/kenbak.htm I currently try to convert the original training films. I'm also in the process of taking photos from the insides of all the machines. Those photos will be online within the next days. Four of the seven Computers have the original Kenbak-1 logo, the others the CTI logo. You will see that al of the computers have six holes drilled on the top cover. It turned out that the Kenbak-1s had overheating problems and the hole were the cure for that. One of the Kenbaks is slightly modified and has toggle switches instead of the push-button switches. This machine is the only one I have tested so far. It works perfectly. All I can say is that the Kenbak-1 is fun to work with! Greetings Herbert Computer Museum of Nova Scotia
