Hello new member popped in to say hello.
Greetings,
I have just joined the forum and thought it would be polite to introduce myself, Im Adam 49 years young living near Fakenham in Norfolk. I know literally nothing about computers, but I have been tasked with sorting out lots of stuff that both myself and my sister have inherited off a relative. Im a firm beliver the way to go about these things is join a specialist site and go from there. We are still going through stuff but as as a rough guide it is as follows. 2 x Vectrex both working only 1 controller though loads of games and plastic screen things? 2 x Commodore Amiga monitors both turn on. Various Commodore or Amiga Disk Drives. Amiga 1200 that god knows how i have got working and games load. Amiga A500 have not even looked about getting it going but it powers on when plugged in. Commodore 128D again powers on but that is as far as i have got. Commodore A600 powers on but as far as i have got. Amiga cd32 with loads of games ( did work fine now screen rolling? ) Texas Instruments Ti-99 /4a + extras etc not looked at yet. Sinclair Pc200 powers on but not looked at Sony cdtv with keyboard remote disc drive games all working And tons and tons and tons of other stuff mouses cables games joysticks and loads i have forgetten probably. Oh and enough cables and games to sink a small Battleship. I look forward to hopefully some how getting my head around it all, as currently its taking up half my living room and my partner is far from happy. We really need advice on what to do with it all really as we are not ebayers etc, and would like to see it all go to an enthusiast rather than some one who will clean it up, get all working and make loads of money, and we are quite happy to sell for under whatever market value is aslong as its fair to both parties. Sorry for the rambling introduction!! Adam |

Additionally, there’s a really great guy up North I know, who fixes CRT monitors and TV’s for enthusiasts of both computers and vintage audiovisual equipment, and he’d absolutely love a Vectrex to fix up and take pride of place in his little collection. So if and when you want to sell one of those please let me know |
