My museum ethos is to save at least one of each model of machine I can
reasonably afford, so with the really common stuff like C64s, Spectrums,
Amstrads, Ataris etc if I get a broken one and obvious chip swaps/dry
joints/general muck etc doesn't fix it I get another one. Most spares can
generally be passed onto other collectors, but that hasn't stopped me ending
up with a pile of broken Spectrum Pluses :)

I'm curious to know how list members feel about the question
of repairing
versus replacing common computers.
