Brought this +3 from a guy who owned a retail shop in the 80s, he discovered it in the loft of the shop. It's not even been taken out the plastic or had a plug fitted to it.

£3 wow, good investment. This +3 even smells new, the guy said he had 50/60 boxed new/unopened 80s computers/consoles that he sold for £1000, wish he told me first.Shinydaz2019-04-27 23:04:19

Amazing. I would keep it unused/boxed as there can only be so many remaining in mint condition and it's not as if they are not easily obtained for anybody wanting to use one.

(Swap you an outrun PCB for it?

There have been quite a few 80's/90's old stock cropping up recently including Amiga and Acorn A3000's.

Well I'd probably trade it to a good home, if someone had something I really wanted. However there is nothing I can think of I really want at the minute.

I got a nes delux
With robot
Never used
Even the batteries for robot were included
Buy Nintendo! Unopened
The gyromites have little cardboard covers

Boot fair!
Like £2
I saw it in the car.

I said how much is that
And the chap said to me
I’m really sorry the console is not in the box
They had taken out the console and left poor
Rob all alone in the box!

And put him in the loft,
Well I adopted rob and all the minty ness.

I can’t normally write very much
Because I have trouble spelling

And grammar and these things.

Plus I’m at work I just like to
Dip in and dip out again!

!!!!Nice spectrum!!!
Me and my brother
Go to the boot fair
And we have both found
Mint SNES... consoles

And he gets out my boxed street fighter
Turbo SNES

And he pits it next to his
boxed street fighter turbo SNES

And he looks at them both for like 5 min
And then he declaires.

His is the mintest!

And I’m like how you working that out!

And he starts marking each tiny defect out of like
5 or 10

He like that indent is longer then my slight
Corner crumple...

And I just go yeh Ok then....
I swear it makes me laugh
We are 40 & 41

We never stoped playing with toys..
????????

Lol I cant see myself buying any more cabs. The only one I desire is a track n field cocktail, but I doubt that will ever happen. I'll no doubt get a CRT and maybe get my megadrive setup and buy a few games, or a pinball, maybe high speed 2, if I can find one cheap enough.
