That's great! They deserve to be freed from the confines of the barn. Now they roam around in the wild and get a breathe of fresh air.

This is an old article. I believe the original seller already depleted their stock. There's a lot of good components in them for tinkerers and some folks still have interest in recreating the original services. I bought one while they were still being sold cheap, the things really were just like brand new
