Living in the future. (Tiresome cyberpunk edition)

"I was digging my mother's old sewing machine from the cupboard under the stairs when I caused a minor stuff-avalanche. I was hit in the head by a pair of Korean bicycle tyres and a broken VR headset. The tyres went into the shed and the VR-rig into the bin

Speaking of which, do you have a release date for the book?

[hirez]

More or less. You may rest assured that I'll be letting everyone know when the date firms up.

[valkyriekaren]

cool. I'm writing reviews for a goth zine atm, can give you some nice free publicity.

[jarkman]

How's the stride engineering ?

[hirez]

Stalled w/o the manual, I fear.

[badnewswade]

Aw, don't chuck out your old VR headset. It's probably worth something as an antique. I kid you not!

[hirez]

Yes.

This would appear to be the machine in question. (Even though it's got '6000' stamped on the base) However, this does give a chap pause.

How old is the viking? If it's not computeriszed, there is a yahoo group that is quite good with pre 1980 vikings.

I have a 1020 which is the zig zag only version of the 6020.

drop an email to me if you like.

It's early seventies. I probably don't need the manual to make it work right, but this is turning into a Quest to understand the model-numbering and Get The Right Book.

pre 1980's Husquvarna/vikings on groups.yahoo.com

There are uk members and the moderator is a former viking repair person who seems to know everything!

[hirez]

Very fine. Thank you.
