I was fascinated with the early TTS units - had both a Votrax and a
Microvox from Micromint. I am re-creating my original 1980 setup with a
Sol and a NorthStar Horizon, though I think I'll skip my NEC Spinwriter.

the computer room.
I configured it as a printer so I could yell into the room..

If anyone knows of an available unit (at
considerably less than the $500
one on eBay), please let me know. I actually have one SC-01-A and would
even take a unit missing the Votrax chip - I understand some units were
scavenged for the chip for several video arcade machines which used them.
