Smoke Signal Broadcasting Chieftain (SS-50 Bus SWTPC Clone)

[hideehoo]

Picked up a really ratty one that I'll be bringing back to life. Chatting with some folks over on the https://www.facebook.com/groups/SS50BusComputers FB group (seemed the most active), but posting here also if anyone has manuals or other info for this. Not a whole lot out there at the usual sites like deramp and bitsavers. More photos at https://photos.app.goo.gl/84sefRFo6tfRhTV27

Found the manual for the motherboard installed in it, https://deramp.com/downloads/swtpc/hardware/Smoke Signal Broadcasting/LMB-1A Motherboard.pdf

Wow. That leather-textured vinyl front panel is sure something. Looks like it was designed to slot in place of the glove compartment of a mid-70’s Chevy Suburban.
