I would like to kow if anyone out there has an extra or trashed 800
keyboard that they would be willing to part with. I would like to
find a supplier for those old keyboards but no luck yet.

Also, if anyone out there has an old Atari stuffed in a closet
(probably eliminates most of us) and would like to free up some of
that space please reply. Again I am searching for an 800 keyboard.

Does anyone know anything about robotic arms? I desire to have an
arm for my spare 400 to play with. I would like to have a Microbot
Mini-Mover-5 but I don't want to part with $600. I am considering
modifying an Armatron after they come back down to $15.

I am looking for some expertise in this field...I cannot decide how
to attain motion. Should I run cables? use hydraulics? pneumatics?
put a separate motor at each joint? I really need some help.

thanks
