|
|
| I found an early intel-based circuit board in my junk box that I would like to display on in a nice case on the wall. Any thoughts on a good way to display? It's fairly small, 6.5" tall and around 8" wide if I include the plug hanging off the left side. |

Nice 4004.
I find that there are plenty of nice shadowboxes available at most craft stores (or even just a local Walmart/Menards or anywhere that sells photo frames).
You could stick two pins in the holes in the top corners of the board to hold it in place. _________________ My collection |

| That's from Busicom 141-PF calculator, original product for which MCS-4 was designed. |

| As a vintage computer collector who dabbles in calculators, I would find a picture of the Busicom 141-PF and put it side-by-side so you know what it comes from. |

Including a pic of the calculator is a good idea. Here is my first try at the shadow box.
Most of the work has been researching interesting commentary to describe the board. |
