Sold BBC Micro set

[soeter04]

Howdy lads,


Have a rather complete BBC Micro set to offer.
It comes with an external 5.25" drive, both the normal and extended user manual, a DFS manual, the welcome package (booklet and tape) and some games on tape. Offloaded the tape player that went with it though, so the tape stuff is untested.

I spotted 2 switches at the back, which indicated some kind of modding had taken place. Opened up the beeb and found a ram rom board, which seems to be one made by Watford Electronics. Although the battery on the board is in dire need of replacement, it is working ok. The two mentioned switches connect to a RD and WR on the Ram/Rom board, haven't tested them, afraid i'll do more harm than good.
On the board two roms, the DFS ROM and Disc Doctor 1.09.


I've booted up the machine, both roms seen, and loaded a disk into the floppy. All working ok.
RF output seems to be suffering from quite some interference (phones, the disk drive).


The presence of the polys makes solid packaging easier, and i will insert a faulty disk in the diskdrive for transport.


Now for some pictures...

Nice expansion board, especially when loaded up with some ram.

You are aware the A-D port on the rear is missing it's socket, this will need some repair if the buyer wishes to use BBC Joysticks with the machine..

If the PSU X2 caps have not been replaced then I also advise you deal with that prior to shipping the machine, until then do not leave the system powered up without supervision.

Thanks TC, i am quite the newbie when it comes to BBC Micros but know they're fragile. That combination drove me to the tactic: touch it as least as possible

 

[TheCorfiot]

Dont get me wrong, superb setup indeed.
That RomRam board puts the machine on a par with a Master without the compatibility pains.
Very nice indeed

Declare interest on this , plus the controllers one other thread.
that i already did there...
tks!

Payment Sent!

Soeter ,
Please let me know when you have sent this baby for TC to take care before she can take the trip to her new home down south (maybe in time for the World Cup??)

THanks for Both!

 

[soeter04]

Why would you want it in time for the world cup mate, are you planning to use it to weigh Neymar down, so he'll stay on his feet for a change?

Thanks for the payment, now all i need is the address of TC's repair lair

 

[TheCorfiot]

Hello Chaps
Just to let you know that work on the machine has now been completed and all is ready for the return journey.
Will PM you together..

TC

Package arrived yesterday.

Just turn the old girl to check and she is just fine!
going to leave feedback to Both , thanks!

Ps: And hoping Germany beats Argentina in the Final!
(after that devastating record victory over Brazil... We may say we lost to the champions at least! )

 

[soeter04]

Glad it arrived safely! Leaving feedback in a minute
