Would you share the model number of that new (to you) TV please?

If it has a good picture from your Beeb, then it should be a good candidate as a replacement for my defunct Philips LCD TV (well over 13 years old)

TIA

For sure, and I'll get the model of my other one too, same brand but a bit newer I think.

@JezC

Here are the models off the back of my two TVs.

Newer model:


And older model, the £10 special:


They are both branded Technika and both are Tesco specific and have a DVD player as well as SCART, VGA, HDMI, Component and on the newer model, Composite+Sound and sound in for VGA. The olde model has S-Video as well, they are great TVs for the price considering the connectivity.

A search on ebay for 'Technika TV' brings up a ton of them in various sizes at very reasonable prices.

Thanks @rubber_jonnie I'll have a look for them over the weekend

You're welcome.

Hadn't really looked at this for one reason or another, but it came with the BBC that was donated to me by a friend of a friend.

It's a Vulcan Gunshot, complete and seemingly new in the box:


The joystick itself is actually a 9 pin digital stick, but there is a neat adaptor in the box that clips onto the BBCs analogue port. I've not tried it out yet, but the cable is still tied like new.

I'm not 100% sure if the cassette with joystick software came with it, but it's a nice little package overall.

Well, it does say "New" on the box. ;-)

It's true :)

And for my next trick...


Bought for the sum of £16.99 as spares or repairs, powers on but is overheating. I can work with that :)

Is that the early version with four USBs and the memory card slot or the later one with just two USB ports?

Ok, so time to give myself one of my regular reminders of the projects I really need to get on and do!!!

1. Build my Ohio Scientific Superboard II
2. Build my 2nd H4.
3. Build my H5, the one that's been in a box since I moved and forgot to open...
4. Fix the inbound PS3 I just bought.
5. Fix my Epson HX-20.
6. Fix the floppy drive on my Amstrad NC200.
7. Finish recapping my A1200 PSU.
8. Continue the Archimedes mouse ball project. I bet you all thought I'd given up, but I just needed some thinking time :)
9. Repair my Toshiba Libretto 100CT.
10. Play more on machines in my collection :)

I think that's it for now...
