Video machines by 1966: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/May-1966-Radi ... _500wt_842
Amazing what we already had by then: video games, colour television, answering machines, digital recorders or satellite television for example. It's just you had to be really rich, really technical or insanely into them to feel the need.

OMG time: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-PET ... 18558#shId
£25 current bid. The others are something stupid like 300 quid or more. And it's not as if you can get the original tapes.
Of course, you can always buy the original PET emulator for your 64, which I still maintain is an original CBM experience.

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
...And the buying cost. It's £84.50 already.
Still, a much cheaper Atari is up for grabs, plus a pretty nice Sinclair ZX80. Mind, there's a limit to what even I'd buy.

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
Somehow this thread makes me sad.
It's history and it's till lukewarm. I wish i could save all that stuff and make a museum and preserve it for all eternity. There is a lot of reasons why i can't do this.

All is lost.

No doubt the Science Museum in London already has. Only a fraction of its exhibits are on display, the rest are crammed into six huge hangars far from the public gaze.

And I daresay the Internet lets us all see into each others' personal museua. Ever so many pictures to see and parts to buy or swap.

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
Vosla could jump-start a small attic museum with this Altair: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Very-Rare-MIT ... _929wt_825
What he would lose in size he could make up for in expense! Or, to compromise, these more modestly priced early 'home' computers would be easier on the wallet:

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
No prob! Scrub the attic storage and scale down even further:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sinclair-ZX80 ... 3373c12e26
This museum can fit under a sofa cushion. If even this is too big then I really am out of suggestions!

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
I think I'll get these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Compute-Magaz ... 1415wt_932
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1984-Computin ... 2261wt_932
Well, the COMPUTE books on disc anyway.
And two SFX playalong albums are on sale, albeit for a hefty £25.

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
Hmmm...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Atari-2600-St ... 1106wt_932
Though enough C64 games exist to literally discover a new (free) pile each day, the Atari 2600 still holds pole position in my heart.
It was my first and just look at all these goodies.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/atari-2600-co ... _500wt_949
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BATTLEZONE-AT ... 3cc5727515
Mario, Road Runner, Tapper, Tunnel Runner, Pheonix, Ms. Pacman..... people could at least run the latest Stella emulator to run the ROM downloads.

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
If that article mentions a Basic Extension called "BC Basic" (possibly by Kuma?), then I went to school with the guy who wrote it (his name was Brian Candler). He was quite a way ahead of me in school, but I was in the same year as his sister...
