I still use the famous Port-X-Tender with my capacitor change 2X speed 41CV

Anyone else have one of these beauties?

I never did get one, but I have two double modules, so I can essentially have six modules plugged in at once, plus the stuff already built into the cx.

Yep I have one but not really use it anymore.
It's functionality has been replaced by the Clonix-D/NoV-64 modules from Diego and by the 41CL boards (up to 50x speed) from Monte.

Had one I bought in the early 80's (I vividly recall we geeked out until very late in the evening at a PPC meeting the day I got it), and have used it off and on (mostly off) over the years. I just traded it after last year's HHC conference, towards an HP-25C, my first HP programmable. It was definitely old-school, compared to today's technologies, but I just loved the dip-switches to select ROMs, etc.

FWIW, I wrote the user manual and hand-drew all those pictures for the AME folks. It was a labor of love. For my efforts, I got one of their initial clear prototypes from the first run of plastic.
