Website is still up. No news on it (likely because he hand-wrote / managed it?):

RIP Don Lancaster! I was a young boy when I got a copy of your book "TV Typewriter" and pored through its pages. I so wanted one but at the time it was way out of my league to build.
MK14:
Yes, RIP Don Lancaster!
Who managed to write some nice books.
Reminds me of this thread:

Sad to hear of Lancaster's passing, but the obituary certainly recounts a life well-lived. He sounds like a good egg.
And the ads on that page are just plain hilarious. ("Jail sucks! I can help", next to some generic through-hole PCB traces.)

Yes, RIP..
He was quite eclectic persona, but his left field thinking was why I liked reading his articles...
It was reminder to always try to look at things from different standpoints...
All in all, unusual but good person...
One of the interesting ones...
