I'll try to get more and better pictures (Tom requested them too) so we
can get a better look. Trouble is the machines are tucked away in a tight
area. It'll be a few days before I can get out to the warehouse and pull
them out.

In the meantime, here's a link to pictures I took when I first brought
home my PDS-1D:

The idea is to get them working at some point. I'm hoping Greg Thomson
(Maze author referenced previously) will take an interest in helping me
out. It'd be really cool to have a real game of Maze in my garage with
the original author ;)
