Documentation for OEM BS1?

Buck Rogers

Hello!
Suffice to say I shall be the owner of one in several days, and I'm wondering where to find the documentation for it. Is anything still available on the store site?

Parallax Tech Support has (or used to have) a network folder called, "Archive / Faxable Documents" that contains the original manual for the OEM BS1.

I also found this PDF file in my archives.

And I'm beginning to realize that I've got an extreme archive of my own. It did contain the materials needed. To both assemble the thing, and to grok the schematic behind it.

I've often wondered, if the regular BS1 and the actual interpreter and related parts are still sold, then why isn't the kit itself still there? There must be some reason left in the Universe.

Um no. That's just the interpreter. There are other parts involved. A regulator, and a resonator for example. I mentioned the entire kit. Let's just say the one our friend is sending me is a complete one. Please examine the PDF files I've placed on the message.
