Cool, Jay! Was your keyboard one of the 40 or so that Don re-assembled and
offered? Or is it still in stock form?

unit that appeared on the cover (with the more refined keyboard) ended
up? I've asked around, including Don and nobody seems to know where it
got
to.
I'm also wondering if anyone knows a source that might have the
keytops that unit used or something close (I understand they were made
by Mechanical Enterprises). I've enough parts here to build two or
three TVTs and I thought after I get the prototype replica done I
might go for the cover unit, esp. if it no longer exists anymore. But
I understand those keytops were kind of a one off deal for that article.
I actually have one of those funky keyboards shown in the link quoted above
on photobucket.com that I acquired around the time of the article for my TVT
- but this is not what was shown on the cover page of the magazine, as later
posts have pointed out.
