The acorn electron was a cut down BBC model A, i had one (sans expansions) and it was my first proper 'puter.
I keep trawling the bay of E's to see if any show up, mate of mine recently picked up an original ST'e with only 512k for a tenner from carboot sale - was a find and a half that.
Ohh and chuckie egg = legend.
I'll sell you one, complete with Plus 1 and Plus 3, if you want
And everything From Chuckie Egg to Caveman Capers..
I can't remember what else, but lots of them on ROMs for speedy speedy. It's badass.
Except for Cylon Attack, that was completely shit.
But I think both Hobgoblins, a lot fo the Felix series (definitely Evil Weevils) and quite a lot of Reptons are there.
Does this stuff actually fetch decent money? Maybe I should stick it on ebay.
800 quid ! lol. You could get an ultrabook for that !

That's like a moggie minor selling for the same price as a new Ferrari California
Low serial no on that Pet though so its well desirable.
Old computers are worth a fortune, seem to be more desirable than old audio kit sometimes.
Of course the rarer the better, if you have a no name 386 clone then dont expect it to be worth feck all.
I have a CPC464 in the loft with colour monitor and loads of games, Whats it worth

Sooo much love for tape!Still got loads of tapes - mainly with DJ sets on that were either bought, recorded off radio or of me on my decks! I will NEVER sell them.
Or the box of MiniDiscs I have...
This is the deck I used to record my sets on:

Can't find a pic of the first player I had but it was a Toshiba that had an equalizer and took something daft like 4 x AA batteries! I had multiple Sony and Aiwa Walkmans over the years and the last one I ever used was this one bought off a mate:

Tapes used were mainly these but have all sorts (including a couple of That's)

tapes rock ... they go beyond the realms of just being a media storage solution. Any one that has every made a tape compilation for a girl knows this ....... coping 10 tracks to CD and hitting burn, is souless.
But sitting on your bedroom floor surrounded by tapes and records and recording them to a them in real time listening to every song, putting them in the desired order, just to give to your girl or a girl you are trying to impress. ... its one of those life affirming moments thats stays with you ..... ahhhh the nost***ia of youth, where is that bottle of maddog 20/20 ?
I'm old enough to have started on 110baud teletype writer with paper tape. ASR 33.
2nd year the poly got 3 VDU terminals. Utterly useless for Star Trek as you could only see a long range scan or short range scan but not both at the same time.
I seem to have a Tektronix 4111 in my stash.

I had a girl make me a compilation tape for me once.....bunny boiler
Was the the follow up to Jive Bunnybunny boiler
I was helping my old man tidy up his hifi cabinet on Saturday and he still has a load of brand new tdk 90's still in the wrappers.
I remember thing I was pretty G because I could record straight out the back of my stereo onto minidisc using a fibre optic cable.
ohh the TDK cassette! Ive got this walkman still in the loft and loads of old rave tapes with it!
