I guess Stephen should update his webpage. He's quite a specialized tinkerer. He built a huge analogue synthesizer for the Smashing Pumpkins, so big the photo he showed me was taken in a car lot. I had test audio of his S&H module as a ring-tone on my old nokia, which drove the nurses in hospital nuts. brucee has epilepsy.

I still have a working 5630 in storage. It's quite a shame when the labs tries to productize a neat invention.

Skip. Have you made a phone call on the 1ESS with it's two storey rails?

From a recent twitter thread -- droppings?! :) -- I got the impression that smj wasn't at Comm. Museum anymore.

Coincidentally,  on the same thread I found out that by a series of happy accidents my old 5620 ended up in a nice home, restored to its original beauty. The same guy has done some amazing restoration of old and exotic computers.

For those interested in the Blit and other stuff from the labs, particularly if you are in the Seattle area, you might like to contact smj@sdf.lonestar.org who is the Associated Curator of the Communications Museum. He gave me a tour and I introduced him to games/crabs.

Big old telephone exchanges in working order are fun!
