Is there? Anything that strikes anyone as particularly rare/valuable?
Oh come on :-) You know that some of that stuff's pretty rare. On the Acorn
front, they built maybe 50 ARM eval kits and a similar number of ACWs for
instance, and known survivors of any of the System range is probably less than
20. It's rather hard to find an Atom with the Econet board too (although stock
Atoms are reasonably common).
There can't be many DEC GT40s about, or DAPs. PERQ 2T4's aren't exactly
common, nor is anything from Whitechapel or the better Torch systems.
Ditto with Vectrexes, HH Tigers, Einsteins, and the Sinclair MK14.
Heck, even Orics / Jupiter ACEs / RML380Zs / Sorcerors aren't *that* common
these days, although they're probably around if you have money to spare.
I could go on....
Valuable? Well anything rare is valuable (as I realise that you well know) :-)
But if you mean in monetary terms, I really couldn't say. There are probably a
few things there that'd go for a few hundred pounds each on ebay - but
personally I never think of ebay as a good measure of an item's worth.
ps. No Domesday system by the way? I could have sworn that you owned one!
