Way back in the late 70s I built a similar unit, the PCB was available then I added all the other parts. I don't remember if it's the same unit, the one I built was by Don Lancaster, it worked great for many years until I replaced it with a commercial unit, a Televideo 950 set to emulate a VT100 terminal by DEC. It was a lot better than my original interface a model 45 later I used a model 33  Teletype unit with paper tape punch and reader. Those were the days if you wanted decent software you wrote it yourself in assembler.

Cool project Brad!

You have the PCB layouts in the reprint PDFs, just print them out (be sure to set no size reduction) and make sure they fit the components, then transfer to PCB and etch. Lots of ways to do that. Most all are documented here:

Let us know how it goes.
