Free for collection (Lincoln UK)

Post by meldrew »

Hi all, I'm moving house and rediscovered my old vic20, 16k ram pack, data cassette drive and a variety of tapes. Vic20 in original box, but I see it has 'yellowed'with age. (I must have put it in the loft in the eighties).
Free for collection, it would be nice to see it go to someone who can use it, rather than the dump!
I'm in a village just north of Lincoln, soon to be elswhere so as soon as you can, please.

Hopefully somebody will collect it, you're a bit too far away from me.

Hi, at least you had a look. It will be a shame it it's dumped.

Kind regards, Peter.

Maybe this is worth mentioning also on Lemon 64 and World of Spectrum?

Though not a Commodore 8-bit club, there may be some C= enthusiasts in LAG (Lincolnshire Amiga Group). If you wish, I can give you in private the e-mail address of Michael Domoney, president of the group.

I think between us all we should try our utmost to avoid this going to landfill.

Meldrew, if you are happy for me to post alink on Lemon 64, and World of Spectrum, please let me know, and i will do just that. I am sure that somebody would have such a good offer.

Finally got around to testing this out, works ok but the keyboard is dying / unresponsive. I think the MB will be transplanted into my dead black screen Vic.

May thanks for the donation of the hardware and tapes. Surplus tapes will be made available here soon.
