  I think we should try to build a modern version, with 3D printed parts. If anyone's interested...I have no idea what it would take, but I have dedication bordering on obsession?

  wasn't this the underlying theme of gibson's pattern-recognition book?

    Yes. There's even a section on it in the article.

  Found a Type I on eBay a few months ago. Had a repaired handle so it was marked down quite substantially, but it looks and works great. Sits on my desk, I love it to death - it just feels so good.
