I'm selling my acorn electron setup as I no longer use it since I got my BBC Master.

What's included:

1 Acorn electron computer. I'd be willing to do the composite out colour mod though I have no way of testing whether it currently works in B/W or after the mod.
The case is quite grubby but I'll change the top half and keyboard for one I retrobrighted earlier this year.
1 RF cable
1 Power supply
1 Plus 1 Add-on
1 Slogger Pegasus 400 disk interface. I got it as a bare board earlier this year and sourced and soldered all the parts. The soldering isn't great but it has worked perfectly for me for the last 6 months. It is fitted with the pegasus 400 and T2PEG400 ROMs. It is uncased. More info
1 Electron User Port/UPURS/32k Sideways Ram card. Again I got this as a bare board earlier this year and soldered it myself and again the soldering isn't great nut it works 100%. It provides 2 user ports and an UPURS port as standard, mine comes with 32k of sideways ram. It is uncased.More info
Approx 40 formatted blank disks
1 Floppy which contains the UPURS rom and a program to load it into the sideways Ram.
1 Floppy drive cable - Found a couple of connectors and some cable!

What's not included:
Tape recorder
tape recorder leads - might include these if I find them
floppy drive - any standard floppy drive will work

floppy drive psu
UPURS cable - an FTDI usb to serial cable is needed to use the UPURS port, plenty on ebay
RGB to SCART cable - I recommend getting one of these as the RF cable gives a terrible picture on my lcd screen.[edit] I've fiddled with brightness/colour/contrast and it's not terrible now, just very bad!
Composite cable

I will add photo's and other details later tonight when I've found my camera!
[edit]Can't find my camera and my phone is flat! I'll upload photo's tomorrow.:Doh:

I'm looking for £80+postage. This will be listed elsewhere so may end at any point.

Declaring interest in this system.

Hi Ray,
sorry to say I sold most of the good stuff separately over on the acorn forums. I still have the elk,Plus 1,psu,rf cable and 5pin cassette cable left. But I'm considering keeping that as my dad said he'd give it a home. I'll let you know in a couple of days if I still want to sell if you are still interested.

[edit]since I don't have a price for the remaining items it may be worth considering this thread closed. I'll repost the rest if I want to sell still.

For my future reference which acorn forum do you use?
I am on *dot and I cannot see anything there.

Thanks,
Ray
