The Rotary Switch - which is both input and output in the real Minivac - is absolutely wild yeah.

One of the crucial things I didn't get to yet is making that wheel controllable - some circuits in the manuals do require you to turn it. That's high in the todo list (with mobile support).

I also really want to share all of the videos I've been collecting of similar "wheels" - in (modern-ish) elevators [0] and light shows [1]... And also pinball machines! [2]

Re: RadioShack boards, I did have the "300 in 1" kit growing up, so yes... it's full circle for me. :-)
