A while ago I got into collecting old computers/consoles.

Specifically old meaning 70->80's stuff. Mostly 8 bit consoles/computers and alike. (Not into the SMS/Nintendo/PS2/3 ... etc stuff)

Atari 2600/400/800/XL etc, C64/C16/Vic 20/..., Spectrum, Amstrad, Pong Games, Orbit, Force 2, Hanimex, Tunix, BBC, .... anything which plugs into a TV or Monitor

Working or Not Working.. I don't really mind (I can always fix/get it fixed)

Just Message me....

I'm so after a VIC20 just because of how awesome the manual for it is. I should actually see about getting a raspberry pi set up as one just to see my son working through the manual

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

Depends if you mean Trademe prices or collector prices. They can be quite different .

On TM there has been a good looking boxed one trying to sell for $200 for ages and no one wants it at that price.

Maybe $100 TM prices.

Collector Prices ...

I guess this isn't the right thread to bring up the Vicapult we built in the late 80s or early 90s...

If it has anything to do with Catapults . Then no :-)

Technically it wasn't a catapult since it used compressed air, but, yeah, ....

I'm looking at buying a SD card adapter and ram expansion unit for my old acorn electron.

Go from 32k ram to 128k and 360kb drive or tape to Gbs of SD card...

Did you see the thing a while ago where they got Doom running on a BBC Micro? Sort of, anyway... attached a Pi to the processor expansion slot :)

Outside of Ops scope, I have an old "Netpliance" iOpener still in box from 2000's with manual if anyone's keen.
