FOR SALE / WANTED / My Want List!

« on: October 13, 2015, 10:42:34 PM »

Just joined and popped a post into the new members section.

I'm a collector and seek boxed and mint home computers prior to the PC started to take over. I will post up details of my collection at some point, but there are many I miss and a few I really want...

So what I'm really keen to locate are:

Jupiter Ace (hens teeth I know)
Camputers Lynx (seems the same)
ZX80 (the one I have is not mint)
ZX81 (same)
MSX 2
Commodore Plus 4

Only interested in boxed, working and good condition but happy to do a deal 

Thanks!

Hello. I've joined this week as this seems like a good source for knowledge, events and computers and as a collector of vintage home computers, amongst other thing, it means I should be here! 

My first computer was around 1980 aged 13. It was an Atari 400 and of course that came with its tape deck and BASIC cartridge, together with a couple of games. I progressed from that to a C64 and BBC Model B and finally an Amiga 500.

That however is a mere starter for 10 as today, after a significant (and ongoing) spending spree a few years back I've acquired over 30 boxed and mint home computers. I'll up a list and pictures in due course but there are a few I still seek so hopefully I might find them here!

Been on a few forums over the years, mainly car and tech ones, both of which are passions and interests. So hopefully I can add to the forum!
