Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] TV Typewriter: Custom G10 copper clad

Roland,

I don't think it is about time or money.  This is a challenge and a 
learning experience.  Stuff we do for fun.

When I first saw this thread, I went into my archives, and after blowing 
away the cobwebs, I tried to find my copy of Don Lancaster's TV 
Typewriter Cookbook.  I was hoping that the information might be in 
there.  I didn't find it, but with a web search I was able to find it 
available for download at no cost.  A quick perusal didn't turn up the 
missing info.  The board photos were in B & W, so color could not be 
determined.  I also found color pictures of several of the SWTP boards, 
which show that their boards were natural in color.

(Another) Harvey
