120 quid!!

Well that does look encouraging! Still, what a shame it's all beaten up. I'm not someone who demands stuff (epsecially peripherals) to be pristine, but you'd like to thiink any marks or scratches were what happens after many years of use and abuse, not in the last 10 seconds on a delivery because th...

Oh Mike! That's terrible! I wish these sellers would properly wrap stuff. I got an Einstein 256 last year sent in its original box with no polystyrene or bubblewrap, just brown paper around the box. :cry: I think the machine survived (haven't built the PSU and video cable yet).

Might have to wait a bit as Jonah seems busy with his new mech keyboards.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I just got an FDM 3d printer for my birthday and the thing that excites me most about it, is making parts to fix things that you'd either have to live with or scrap. Printing tools and toys is nice, but printing half of a hinge for a broken cassette recorder from the 8...
