[Coco] Very interesting eBay find... anyone ever seen one of these kits?

[Steve Batson]

I had no idea there was ever a kit form of the CoCo. Way back when, I'd 
have bought this as an extra CoCo just for the fun of putting it together. 
I'm still tempted now. I couldn't tell if you have to solder every 
component in, or just put the chips in (maybe they are socketed. I sent the 
seller the question. While I haven't soldering anything in years, I used to 
be pretty good at it, so that doesn't scare me...but i'm not sure I want to 
sit hunched over a desk assembling and soldering either. I still find it 
tempting though.

Yeah, thanks a lot, I'm kind of tempted by this one too!
