Glad to hear it was saved from the scrap heap! A very cool machine, reminds me of the manual punch we had to go along with our trip punch at a previous job. > Stu Phillips, a friend of ours did the insertion of metal metal Southco > extractor handles on our boards for the Microdata 1600. > That business came from him owning an injection molding machine and > someone asking him to make the handles. The blue handles on the MDB Unibus prototyping boards I've got are Stu Phillips handles. They are indeed riveted on, but I don't know if MDB did their own riveting. With the amount of DEC-compatible stuff they made, it wouldn't surprise me. Thanks, Jonathan
