Hello, and welcome..

I myself am new to the vector, (well arcade actually) scene. I've only seen
a space war never played or worked on one before. Pat won't let me have his.
:(

Have you been to

http://andysarcade.de/spacewars.html

There is some information listed there, you may have already seen some or
all of it already. The schematics they have listed are unfortunately the
same ones you pointed out. :(

There does seem to be some on Ebay, but I'm sure they are probably just
print outs of what is online.

I'm sure some others will chime in, I think Tom still reads these emails.
