Wood has always been the flavor of choice ,when it comes to the old computers

computers,sensory board attachments and even printers were lavished with wood
over the years

the following is an assortment of the less commonly seen items made from GOD
Allmighty "WOOD"

From Novag..a run of the mill Solo with a custom made wooden board
known as the Solo Deluxe Z:

also from Novag..the predecessor to the well known Universal board
this  Tournament Sized Sensory board was made to work with the Super System
Distributor box
the owner would connect the Super VIP to the distributor box and the box to the
board:
