  After a fair amount of effort on my part, I found
and obtained a
 copy of the July 1974, Radio-Electronics mag that has the cover
 story "Build the Mark-8, your personal minicomputer".  I was
 less than delighted to find that in this instance, R-E left out
 most of the construction details (including any skematics).  
 They have an offer on the second page of the article where 
 you should order the kit with circuit board patterns, and 
 the rest of the details.  The article includes some theory of
 ops, a parts list and a few photos. 

Actually... about a year ago as part of my efforts to re-create a
'Mark-8', I contacted Gernback Publications and was able (with suitable
begging and pleading) to get them to loan me the last existing masters for
the article series AND the construction package.

If anyone would like a copy of this document set, drop me a note.  I'd
suggest that to avoid generation loss in copying the docs yet again you
consider sending along a blank CD-R disc with a SASE for its return, and
I'll provide you with the scanned (TIFF) files.  (no charge)  It's WAY too
big for floppies!

If you require printed copies, it would be just the cost of printing and
postage.

OK, I just got back in town.
Were you deluged?

What's your address? I'd be happy to send you a blank CD if you'll make me a
set.
