If it's working it'll beep when turned on (it has an internal speaker). The light will still come on even if the ULA is goosed in some fashion (often this is just because it needs reseating in issue 2/4 electrons).

Best checks you can do without a TV:
Beep on boot, SHIFT and CAPS LCK/FUNC together toggle the light on and off, CTRL-G makes a beep. That'll mean that the OS/BASIC came up and are dealing with input from the keyboard.

d.

Yep, pretty sure it beeps too, will get it out and check/photo later.

It has composite (mono) so even if you can't tune it in via RF many LCDs still have this?

Ok, I've checked it does all that, thanks.

Aha thanks for that - now using composite - I get the Acorn Electron BASIC prompt.

No, I just love your photographic skills!

The thing is, as I explained to the PM I sent you, that my friend who wanted the machine suddenly changed his mind, so I'll have to withdraw my interest...

Postage looks like being somewhere between £50 to £70 to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Was "only" £29 to Greece.
