I'm just wondering if anyone knows what a typical
value for a single unit
with nothing fancy is? I note a recent auction had two of them together
for
$1400 - Am I correct to imply from that that the value
of an individual
unit
is probably less than $700 (that set was unique due to
the systems being
linked and that control box they had, I think).
A working, complete, 1975-6 SWTPc with top and bezel, original backplane,
original CPU and RAM with an MP-S card is worth $1000+. That would be the
bare minimum system. $700 is too low for a working system. The newer 6809
SWTPc's would be worth less, maybe you can get one of these for $700.

If you have an MP-S card for the console interface then you will also
have SWTBUG, which SWTPC developed and came later in the evolution of
those systems.

This one that I have (
https://sites.google.com/site/digiloguemuseum/hardware/1975---swtpc-6800)
has the MP-C card and fully functional (as well as in a very good
outside/inside condition). It does have the MIKBUG ROM (on the CPU card) as
I connected to it. From what the person before me said, it might be worth
$1000+, is that accurate? I am thinking of insuring some of my items in my
collection and this SWTPC is one of the more expensive ones. It is good to
know what the value might be.
Thanks,
Vlad.
