Lundgren was going to sell them to repair shops for a quarter each so they could hand them out to people who needed them.

Built from parts on a PCB
Used a TV as a display
Had a hex keyboard with 16 keys for input.
Could load and store on Cassette tape
Still have it
Design is detailed in Electronics Australia magazine
