For Sale a BBC B 32K micro, with original plain box & polys, and extras
Comprising:
BBC B Micro computer – Ser# 01-ANB03-5012478
Cumana Dual 5 ¼ disc drive unit
RGB to SCART lead
ATPL SIDEWISE ROM board installed
Vine Micros REPLAY ROM installed
Several ROMS installed – see pictures
Including on ATPL board:-
ViewStore – Acornsoft
ViewSheet – Acornsoft
Scheck
HELP

BBC Computer 32K
HELP (*H)
Spellcheck II
Disc Doctor
Printmaster (Epson)
Acorn DFS
Basic
>
All of the keys work, although F, G & H need a firm press
You hear the traditional BRR-BEEP on power on.
The screen picture doesn’t sync cleanly on the RF output, (to an LCD TV) but is fairly stable using the provided RGB to SCART lead.
When I first switched it on, after several years stored, the PSU emitted smoke and smelt of burning, then C2 exploded.
C1, C2 and C9 replaced.
The PSU works now, although there is still the smell of warm/old components – maybe other capacitors need replacing soon.
There is also a continuous quiet buzzing from the speaker when it is on.
The Case is discoloured (yellowed) in parts especially on the top.
Never having used a BBC B. I have not tested any further functionality other than as described above.
I don’t know how to tell if the ROMs are working or not.
The CUMANA disc drive unit, which has a manual, is untested as I have no floppy discs available.
