OK, thanks.

The keyboard membrane is sold by a different user on the forum, so that would be separate, but my preference is to buy from RWAP Software over at SellMyRetro as it'll likely arrive quicker and stand less chance of getting damaged in the post.

So for @PhilC & @alexh we have:

1x SD Card reader each @£72
1x Case for above each @£22 (let me know what colour, I'll check with the seller what he has, as the site shows only red and green)
1x SD Card each @£12

So that would be £106 each for you both plus a third of whatever postage it comes to. I'll get onto the seller see what the combined postage would be and what colour the cases are.

EDIT: I have contacted the seller and am waiting on a reply.

It does, exactly the same as the other machine.

The shimmering is apparently normal and there is a fix known as "The L2" which replaces a coil?

Thanks I'll have a look at that and hopefully test on the machine on the bench.

@alexh @PhilC

OK, so the coulurs for the shell are: gray, green, red, and blue

I'm going for gray.

Next, the person who builds this project has stipulated that it's one item per person. That means they are concerned that I'm ordering three to sell some on.

With that in mind can you please PM me your email addresses as I will need to provide them to the vendor. The only other way around this it to register on the forum and order individually.

I'm still waiting on a price for postage.

BTW I can't order before Friday so no huge rush.

Grey for me please Jon, will pm you the address now. I'm also registered on the forum under PhilC if they want to verify there by pm?
