Hey retroheads, I'm looking at getting a replica of one or more computers from the 1970s.

I'm specifically looking at replicas of the PDP-8, the PDP-11, and the Altair 8800.

Which of the above (if any) would you kit build? Which others should I consider?

@ajroach42 I've long considered giving in to the urge to fab my own PDP-11 but the one that keeps bugging me is the possibility of my own Cray-1 which should be totally doable these days

Heathkit Hero Robots had about eight years of sales. The HERO 1 was the first and most popular robot models

@djsundog I forgot this website existed, and now I'm worried about my finances.
