Star Trek TOS Computers

[feek61]

I've been working on some replicas of the TOS computers which I will put up on ebay when they are finished. I'm building "Gamma" and "Beta" from the original series (see here for details on the type 4A http://tosgraphics.yuku.com/topic/371 scroll down about half the page). These replicas will funtion just like the originals with the same switching and sequence patterns on the upper bank. I have done everything except the upper sequence. If you ever wanted one of these you chance is coming soon!

Just found your EXCELLENT website the other day: need to spend more hours there reading!



Nice job on the computers so far.
Your research on the website is paying off

Just wondering: what are you using to control the light sequences?
Custom IC EPROM?
LED or incandescent?



PS: nice Shuttlecraft :thumbsup

Thanks for the compliments guys. It's always a little intimidating posting anything here with all of the talent at the RPF. It's a nice stress relief making these things, lol. I'm using an electro-mechanical switch for the patterns. I wish I was smart enough to program an EPROM but I couldn't find much info on how to do it (affordably). If anyone wants to help PLEASE let me know, lol. The lighting is all LED's (warm white for the vintage look). On another note I am very pleased with the way the shuttlcraft turned out, thanks for the thumbsup!
