The switches are the same style as the -8/i.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I've had the student handbook since I
was in Jr. High (a gift from my step-dad's mother who was a school
teacher), and have wanted the logic trainer since.  One of the last
ones I was considering buying was $175-$200, and I couldn't afford it.
 These are, IMO, quite reasonable.

As of my purchase, there are 6 left.

One issue, though... I don't see any plug-in wires in the photo nor do
I expect any will arrive with the unit.  Does anyone have any idea
what they originally looked like?  Lengths?  Pin type/size?  I'm
anticipating having to hand-make a bunch of these.
