Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'll repeat it again.

Even if you had access to the schematics, you still wouldn't be able to build it.

Trust me, it's not that easy.

Cool that he doesn't care! Now who's gonna ask him to post an NTO schemo???

I showed Rex the Serge stuff on the web and the Synapse articles. Rex
doesn't care about DIY people building stuff for themselves.

The reason there are few Serge schematics, is that Serge did not draw many.
He would just make block diagrams with little notes about what kind of
circuit to use in that block. He hand taped the boards himself, so he did
not need a formal schematic.

Basically, the PCB layouts are the documentation.

Rex has spent years figuring out the schematics and getting Serge's designs
to work (some of which used to be pretty iffy). Because of the huge cost of
reverse engineering and improvement, he guards those documents religiously.
He will not show them to anybody, even me. It would be easier to get the
plans for a B-2 bomber than the STS schematics.

I can get you in touch with Tcherepnin, although he may have sold his rights
to Rex, who i'm willing to bett would not be willing to share.  lemme now if
I can help
