Condition | Comments |
|
Sinclair ZX Spectrum |
Excellent |
This was my first computer as a
kid.
I brought this one though when I came to Australia. Its the oldest computer in my collection. |
|
Sinclair ZX Spectrum |
Excellent | Box is ripped at the back, but apart from that its better than the other one I have. I had to add the missing manuals and tape leads to make this one complete. |
|
Sinclair QL |
As new! |
The first computer I brought off
eBay. This computer started my collection from eBay purchases. The computer is hardly used. Comes with the plastic bags and even smells new. Fantastic! |
|
Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
Factory Sealed |
I got this one off US eBay. It took
7 weeks to get here and I thought it never would. But it has to be one
of my favourites. Its still sealed in the factory wrapping. No - I
haven't opened it. Don't tempt me! :-) |
|
Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
Very Good | This was my first computer from US eBay. It wasn't complete with all the manuals and leads. Taught me a valuable lesson. Always ask questions! Especially the bleeding obvious ones. |
|
Enterprise 64 |
Excellent | One of my all time favourites. This cost a small fortune in shipping fees, but it was worth it! |
|
Memotech 500 |
Excellent |
Like the Enterprise. Just one of
the computers I had to have. The finish of this computer is just
outstanding. An absolute prize in my collection. The only problem with this is that the outer card board box is missing. |
|
TI 99/4A |
As New! | Beautiful little machine. I'm not too fond of the beige version. But I would still like one to complement the silver edition I have. |
|
Sega SC3000 |
Excellent | A friend of mine in high school back in New Zealand had one of these, so I had to have one for my collection. |
|
Commodore Amiga 500 |
Excellent |
Who wouldn't want a boxed Amiga 500
in their collection!
This one is complete and is in beautiful condition. Even the box is in great shape, because it lives in one of those package deal boxes. |
|
Commodore 64 |
Excellent | Well a collection is not a collection without the breadboard computer. |
|
Commodore 64 |
Excellent |
Got this for free! Even better than
the one I already had. This was a donation for MacroMax computers. Thanks Max. |
|
Commodore 64C |
Excellent |
An improvement on the breadboard
version. Not really a Commodore 64 fan, more a ZX Spectrum Fan! |
|
Commodore Vic 20 |
Good | One of the first computers I ever used. |
|
Atari 520ST |
Excellent | A fine competitor to the Amiga's. |
|
Atari 600XL |
As New | Apart from a ripped box, this computer is almost new. It even has the original plastic bags. |
|
Atari 400 |
Good | The idiot I brought this off, shipped it in the original box as packaging. No shipping it inside another box for protection. But at least I have one I suppose. |
|
Amstrad PPC 640D |
Good | A freebee that was on it way to the tip. Thanks! |
|
Amstrad CPC 6128 |
Very Good | Only partially boxed, as the poly's are missing and I don't have the monitor box or poly's. But still a very good machine. |
These are the my collection of Unboxed computers

TRS-80 Model I |
Excellent |
The first computer I used at high-school. I use to spend my lunch hour in a little computer closet (because you couldn't call it a room) learning to program. And the first thing I ever typed on a computer? Play Space Invaders [enter] What was its reply? Syntax Error! Brillant! |
|
TRS-80 PC-1 Pocket Computer |
Excellent |
Very similar to my Casio PB-100 I use to own in high-school. |

Good and Very Good | The good one is an Arabic version of the Enterprise 64. The Very good one is a standard Enterprise 64. All of my Enterprises work! |
|
Sega SC3000H |
Good | Loose and probably only good for parts. Not sure if it works. I suppose I should check one day. |

Dead I think |
I don't think it works anymore. I really want the Oric 1, as its a computer I wanted when I was young. |
|
Microbee 128 |
Dead or dying |
The last time it was turned on (by its previous owner), smoke was coming out of the computer in a book part. Donated by another work mate. Thanks John. |

Good |
This was a donation for MacroMax computers. Thanks Max. |

its construction is quite rough and unfinished. One of the originals
Microbee's. This was a donation for MacroMax computers. Thanks Max. |

Very Good |
Sadly, another computer I sold. Just not enough room for such a big computer. This was an ex-school IIe, another donation. |

Good |
Gave away with the Apple IIe sale for free. Had a broken hard drive. But otherwise worked. Ex-school computer, and another donation. |

Excellent |
Not sure if it works, but its in excellent shape. Another donation to my collection. Thank you John. |
|
Osborne 1 |
Excellent |
This cleaned up well and works well! Shame the disks don't :-). I always wanted one of these, but never really wanted to pay for the postage.
This was a donation for MacroMax computers. Thanks Max you saved me a fortune in postage costs. |
|
SpectraVideo SV 318 |
