Roughly. Maybe more like £35 back then, but still a bargain and surely way below cost.

This one has a broken key stem which I’ll replace but then that’s it. Two working microdrives as well.

It needs a bl**dy good clean as usual though.
Ah, nice. I had 2 at one point but sold one on a few years back for £100, fully working, new membrane, original PSU a book and a memory card!!

@rubber_jonnie this one is in far better condition that the first one but it’s likely the first one I’ll keep. Battered and bruised is well used and well loved in my book.

I don’t really do immaculate

I'm happy if things work, immaculate is nice, but I prefer 'loved' :)
