This listing is for an Acorn BBC Micro Computer, a vintage computer mainframe originally manufactured in the United Kingdom.
I'm not able to check if it works or not, so I'm listing as Spares Or Repairs, also two missing keys. The power lead has got paint or something on it, just in case the photo is not clear....See Photos. Loft find, could be a bargain!!
Fast postage and will be well packaged for transit. |

Now I have it in my hands
As stated the PSU has never been recapped and is most likely going to fail at some point in time.
Next steps:
- Recap the PSU
- Initial Clean - See if the keyboard is salvageable or needing to be replaced
- See what it looks like once it's open and take it from there
As I get to each stage I'll create a sperate blog post to document my journey.
