Just found this lot in the shed. I bet I can't find any blimmin' power supplies to go with them.

    I take it you knew they were there and not just randomly found.:p

    I knew there were 2 or 3 but I didn't know exactly how many.

    It's like when you've had a dodgy kebab and you can never be sure just how many trips to the toilet will suffice...

    "The Shed" is actually a 2 bedroom static caravan, and these were in the bathroom bit, along with 3 Acorn A3010's, 4 Apple Mac LC-IIs, a C64, an Amstrad 6128, and a load of old monitors.

    There could easily be a lot more yet in the other bits of the caravan, but most of it's buried at the moment.

    But the stories about the ferrets are true, right? (don't disappoint us :razz: )

    who said that zx shed was dead? You seem to have it right there.

    Mind you they all seem to be +2/3s. Looks like you might be single handedly responsible for the rise of Alan Sugar

    If you happen to find a working C64 (or VIC20) and wanted rid of them, I may be interested.

    If your ever up near Halifax (or Leeds/manchester) to pick it up, i've got a spare working C64. I will chuck in one of those awful floppy drives and a Toshiba HX-10 (If your interested in MSX at all), and a sparcstation or two.

    Not interested in posting it though.

    Very kind offer, but I'm not likely to travel up there any time soon.

    Sadly, i have had too many bad experiences with the post. In the past, two speccies have gone missing, a +3E circuit I made for someone, A whole box of Ram chips, and an Eprom programmer. These days i get stuff delivered to work as it generally gets there, but i really dont like posting stuff.

    I dont mind delivering stuff, but Essex is a bit far.

    Tip -- use a really good courier like UPS. OK, it'll cost you about ?8.20 to post up to 25KG, but I've been using them for years, and have never had a lost or damaged package, and they've always arrived within 48 hours. Everything is collected reliably, and has some of the best online tracking I've seen.

    (www.interparcel.com - and pick INTERPARCEL ECONOMY, which is their UPS service)

    Essex is way too far mate, don't worry about it. I think I'm having a bad experience with the post at the moment. A VIC 20 that I bought is taking a very long time to arrive - nearly 2 weeks so far!
