New stuff

Hi folks, Some recent additions to the BD collection, courtesy of a customer who was about to skip (dumpster) the whole lot of 'em! Well, the skipping happens tomorrow so I saved 1 of each: VT100 (yay), serial #AB00914 so I don't know if that makes it early or not? Worked fine once I put the fuse in properly and reseated the space bar on the keyboard :) Aaah, that keyclick of yore.... VT320 with keyboard VT420 in box VT510 w/keyboard VT520 w/keyboard (yes I know you can still buy 'em but I hate seeing anything chucked!) Rainbow 100+ with screen & keyboard....works fine running CPM/86....... Also got a couple more Pongs at the weekend including the Tandy TV Scoreboard in tasteful orangey-brown..... And as a P500-related aside I am the current custodian of my own P500's stablemate which I have to say is in far better condition (packaging wise) than mine but sadly the keyboard doesn't work. What are the chances of this - a guy working for Commodore brings a couple of P500s in for a shop called Vulcan Electronics in London in what, 82/83?. Both are packaged identically, both have german power cords etc and are taped up the same way. One ends up in a collector's loft courtesy of said Commodore bloke and the other ends up being picked up by me at a local boot sale. The machines are 30 miles apart and I already know the bloke that has it in his loft! Spooky, that's what it is. -- Adrian Graham MCSE/ASE/MCP C CAT Limited Gubbins: http://www.ccat.co.uk (work) <http://www.snakebiteandblack.co.uk> (home) <http://www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk> (80's computer collection) "Missing you already" - Mark Radcliffe
