    That thing is magnificent! The only point of failure I see on it that would be tough to fix is that keyboard. I’ll bet the PCB’s are all through hole and hand soldered. True reverse on the cassette deck is a nice touch. Man that tuner pulls all the bands! I wonder if the computer ran off the cassette like an old TRS or if it was just a fancy calculator.

    I love how big and chunky these things are but I bet if you open them up it’s just a lot of empty space.

      I’ll wager this thing has at least 5 PCBs crammed in there , each chock-full of discrete components.
