Every now and again, one must venture into the loft and attempt to instil some order into the chaos of old clothes, toys, sentimental rubbish, half empty tins of solidified paint and offcuts of carpet that you hang onto 'just in case'.

Amongst the detritus, I've dug out my old retro machines and whist still functional, I haven't got the space for them any more.

So if by chance anyone on here's a computer nerd(!), the following are free to a good home:

1 x BBC Model 'B'. Computer only.

1 x BBC 'Master' (32k). Computer only.

1 x Acorn 4000 - Includes operational mouse and keyboard. Can be connected to a standard VGA monitor (not included).

If anyone wants them - They're free to a good home. :)

I also have an Acorn Electron and a Commodore 64. These have some sentimental value to me so I'm not giving these away - however I may consider a reasonable offer. The Commodore has a tape drive and a few games. The Electron has the original BBC analogue joysticks, a few games on tape, a Plus One expansion and 'Starship Command' on ROM cartridge - which is the only game I've ever found the joysticks useful for! :D

If you're interested in either of these... PM me with what you think is a reasonable offer. :)
