A trip to the attic unearthed a real gem here!!!

An absolute time capsule! Superb condition with original dust cover! The plastic has yellowed a little with time, but that's it.

I powered the old girl up to hear that lovely two tone beep for the first time in donkey's years!!!

This BBC B+ comes complete with Watford Electronics (Remember them lol???) 40/80 track switchable disc drive and an AMX mouse.

Also a wonderful selection of games and software.

On EPROM chip:-

  • View Word processesor complete with box, instructions, keyboard shortcut card, drivers.
  • Dump Out 3 from Watford Electronics, (Not fitted in machine)
  • AMX Super Art with mouse and book and some clip art on Floppy! (I was the dogs bits in school because I had AMX Super Art!!! )

On Cassette (Yes really kids, games came on Cassette tapes!!)

  • BBC Welcome
  • Pole Position
  • Felix and the fruit monsters
  • Heathrow Air Traffic Control
  • Elite
  • Philosopher's Stone
  • Meteors (I loved that one!)
  • Starship Command
  • Planetoid

Various other games and stuff on floppy which were copies.

I have no way of testing this machine. As I say, I powered it up and got the usual two tone beep. I haven't got a monitor lead to fit anymore. There is no tape player, but I do still have the leads to connect the player to the computer. I haven't had a player to try the tapes, and they are 25 years old, so can't guarantee anything, but the artwork alone on the cases is definately worth a penny or two! I will try to connect the computer to a standard TV soon to check it over, but I'm very confident that everything is fine. It's been wrapped up and very well cared for.

PLease email any questions (Not too technical...) and I'll get back to you.

Postage. I'd rather this be collected in person if possible due to it's age etc.. However if you want me to pack and post I will. You decide by which method and just pay the postage costs, whatever they end up being, the £10 stated is just to satisfy ebay that there's a figure in the box... Shouls be cheaper than that surely.

Many thanks for looking.

PS. There is no Buy it Now price- That takes the fun out of it! Paypal or Cash on Collection. Thanks.

I'm also selling a Dot Matrix Printer if you fancy out puting 'retro style'.

I managed to find a cable today and connect the system to a TV. See additional photo of a directory pulled up from a floppy disc.

The Drive worked fine and the system performed the favourite of all programs....

10 Print"Name"

20 Goto 10

Still makes me smile!!!

So there you go, A tried and tested system!
