Sold Acorn BBC Micro Model B 64K RAM and Extras

[garynewport]

Hi, sorry to be stupid but how much for the BBC B and the CUB monitor; as separate purchases?

 

[TheCorfiot]

Hi there

£60 + p&p for the Beeb
Pls see post 4 for the cub...
If you were to buy the two together then just go by the £15 shipping and knock a £5 off the cub too.

Hi TheCorfiot, I didn't win the giveaway on Stardot Do you still have one left? If so, what's the condition like and how much would postage be to Ireland?

Thanks in advance

 

[TheCorfiot]

I may have one left that can go, I just need to check the loft and get back to you tomorrow if thats ok.

One way or the other I will get one for you if you are defnitely interested...

Serious fun to code with them indeed

My first computer was a 64k b+ with an opus 40 track fdd.. a few months later, I used tapes for a couple of months at first, I think we got it cheap though as one of dads mates had a computer shop somewhere, and we didnt pay tax at the time either as we where in germany, I kept getting the high scores on the beeb running chuckie egg at play this year, not lost my chuckie egg skills yet

 

[TheCorfiot]

Aye Chuckie Egg on the Beeb is probably the most playable version...
I play it for testing purposes only of course

TC

 

[Sardine]

Actually the dragon 32 version I found more playable

Try it you will be surprised

 

[TheCorfiot]

Tbh it's one of those games that ported very well.
The Acorn Atom version is top too....

[thecellartroll]

I'm thinking... Repton!

 

[TheCorfiot]

I'm thinking... Repton!

Excellent games indeed

Again the Acorn Atorm port is pretty good too

Mr Beaker sir...

Right, I have a very nice machine for you here and I believe I have finally fixed the CRTC fault.
3AM

Let me see how she behaves in the morning and if good then I will give her a full functional and soak test...
Trying my best to get this to you before Christmas...

TC

 

[sir_beaker]

Wow, thanks TC

 

[TheCorfiot]

Righty Ho, Here she is

Cosmetically she is a great colour, only 2 minor repairs I have had to carry out to the casing.
1) Ventilation grill underneath, See Piccy..
2) Keyboard Surround under space bar, See Piccy.

She is also sporting an RCA Video output rather than the horrid BNC.
Sadly the original moulded plug was long ago chopped off so I have fitted a nice new BS std UK plug.

Issue 3 Motherboard, all fixes applied & fully refurbed & tested, ULA has original Heatsink fitted with compound.

Power supply fully refurbished & output tested.

Has 32K Sideways Ram fitted and 64K Rom containing, Basic2, Beebaid, Graphics Extension and Acorn DNFS 1.21

DNFS 1.21 is a patched DFS which allows perfect reading of floppys with most std PC floppy 3.5" drives that have been set to drive 0 and DD mode.
As you can see I tested the system with such a drive.
It also reads and writes to 5.25" drives perfectly.

System has been fully tested loading Tapes too..

If you are happy with the system and want it before Christmas I need to ship it tomorrow, I have all suitable packing ready.
Will supply Resource CD and 3.5" Floppy with Welcome contents and some games..

Machine cost is £60...Using p2g to Ireland its £19 Insured

I will send you a PM with my payment details in case you wish to proceed so I can pack & book the courier tonight...

Enjoy
TC
