I was probably a bit silly to buy my first Lexitron word processor, but to buy a second was bordering on madness.
I was thinking that i would grab some spares for my existing machine, perhaps including a keyboard with working microcontroller.
As with my first purchase, this was a secondary item – i went to collect an IBM 5160. These machines seem to find me because when i got there, i found that there were two of them.
They were located very high up on top of two bookshelves in a shed that was so full of stuff that they could barely be accessed at all. My back survived.
Naturally, they turned into a project, resulting in one good unit, a set of spares, and some answers to unanswered questions.
