I don't know where you'd find any information on the Scelbi on the web.
I know the issue of Radio Electronics where the Mark-8 first appeard as a
kit was July 1974.
Here's a great site Andrew Davies did on the Mark-8 after some e-mail
interviews with Jon Titus.

Jon Titus, creator of the Mark-8, will be speaking at VCF 3.0, so maybe
you can get more resources from him (he's since donated all his original
stuff to the Smithsonian, and I don't think he has the original PCB masks
anymore).
