standard RAM, CPU etc.
The same can be said for most 1970s minicomputers. And what about
all those cheap transistors in a Straight-8? Wow I guess one of
those is only worth about twenty bucks.
I guess the board and case is rarer though, even so I
think about
70,000 ish ZX80s where made so it's actually not that rare at all,
though I guess unbuilt ones are not that common.
ZX80s are approximately as rare as hens' teeth. Go try to find
one. I have. Perhaps you're thinking of ZX81s.
