Cool.... you need to take some hi-res scans/pics of the pcbs as well.  I've yet to have seen an accurate computer space simulator, mainly because nobody can get their hands on the boards to make one.  ;)

Dude, this has to be a once in a lifetime shot (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgamespeopleQQfrppZ50QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQrdZ0?) at these particular items as NOS.

Imagine... first, getting a Computer Space, then coming across NOS parts for it.

Dead link ?

Guess you mean the buttons, like this one:

O and there's also a power supply....here are all the sellers' auctions:

He's also selling a NOS Atari big blue. Not a wise thing to buy. Electrolytic caps get worse, even when they're just laying around....
