Don't remember that one, but I remember some of that era, in fact I still have a ZX Spectrum 48k in the attic. Not exactly mint condition but it's holding it's age better than me!!
Must dig it out and might consider offering a swap for brew-related equipment....

Sadly (I have one too) I dont believe they are worth that much - mine used to burn through power supplies like a hot knife through butter !

Shane will give you a tenner for it for sure !

Had a ZX81 as my first computer. Used to wreck my head typing in the code for the crappy little programs, as the buttons were a right pain.

Tube, what do you do with these?
Do you play them? Hack them? Program them to do something else? Look at them?
Whats the deal?

I remember my brother had an atari 64 whatever it was and a spectrum 128k
