Guide to Kit Construction for the Super-80 plus more - ChickenMan - 05-09-2024
Thanks to jongleur for making a copy of this manual available. Cleaned up and converted to a searchable PDF as usual. A4 in size and 12 pages long.
This manual, produced by Dick Smith, came as part of the original Super-80 Kit, but can be used as a general guide to constructing any electronics kit.
This is a guide for newcomers to kit building. Follow
the guidelines given here and your kit will be easier
and more enjoyable to assemble and more likely to work
first time.
This booklet covers the basics of tools, parts
identification, construction methods and
trouble shooting. Details for specific kits
are given in each kit's construction manual.
Also found recently was a pic of part of the original Super-80 Kit un-opened plus added a few other pictures of Super 80's that I had collected in the past. Also located was the datasheet of the Character Rom, a GI_RO-3-2513. Included also is a couple tape labels/inserts.
So in the Vintage Repository in the Super80/Documentation/Manuals folder we placed
