Provenance and lineage

 Allison,
 
 I agree. Find an original classic and bring it back to life. But this
 is my subjective viewpoint (as well). If one wants to frankenstein a
 machine that is entirely their business, there is no right or wrong to
 this hobby and I can only speak for myself. I also restore old radios
 and televisions. Some fellow enthusiasts will take an old television
 cabinet and place a new color chassis in it, others refinish cabinets
 to look brand new. There are cases where an incorrect chassis is added
 to a set to get it working because the original is unobtainable. It is
 all subjective and up to the individual.
 
 Marty

 I'm likely one of the few that could build a TRS-80/altair/? clone and
 use unused parts all of the correct age! My spares bin is that deep and
 old. To me there is no point, I can find an original and bring it back to
 life easier.
