    WOW!!!
    Thats an instant sinclair collection.
    Only missing a ZX80, +2 and +3

    Awesome win.

    I would kill ;) for good boxed 128K and +3.
    At 160GBP plus probably 100GBP for postage thats around $615AU!
    Way too much to get it to Australia. :(

    Well done.

    Truly awesome! When you get them in, it'd be interesting to know how many of those actually work. Will you let us know? the z88 is cool.

    I'll let you know :)

    I'm going on Sunday night to pick them up - I'll have to borrow a car as I don't think I'll be able to get them in mine.


    If several don't work, I'll probably try and repair some if I can. I've got quite a few other Speccies here for donor transplants.

    or even being forced to by the wife, I'm facing similar pressure at the moment...

    Yeah, what is it about wives and Spectrums? Mine hates my collection too! I only have about 35!

    Told her to "Put up with it or bugger off".

    Damn, it's lonely here now...

    The seller is lying. He doesn't regard the Spectrum highly. He hates it - just like you :D

    Well... I tried the first two machines - a boxed Speccy, and a boxed ZX81. Sold them as packages last night for 47.00 and 63.00 respectively :)


    The next couple of Speccys out of the box have problems though of a flashing mess on screen fault.

    Will have to get looking at the service manual to see if I can get them working.

    If you can try and get the items sent by surface mail in packages split so each one weighs under 2KG, then the costs would be reasonable (20 to 30 GBP probably) - though getting some sellers to do this might be difficult!
