Just snagged this beauty — a Tandy Chess Game (Model 60-2160) from 1980 — for a few quid.
Why do I keep collecting these old electronic chess sets? Maybe it's the look?

Next move: find out if it'll destroy me with its cold 1980s logic.

Last year, I rediscovered in the attic my incomplete 1990/91 MLB #Topps collection, which I started after a brief visit to the U.S.
Now, some 34 years later, Ive finally completed the 1990 set and #Pirates set for good measure.
Next up - finishing 1991 and starting others!?😅

The mystery computer from yesterday was… **drumroll**
A Micro-Professor II (82/83)

“A what?”

Yeah, I’d never heard of it either. There's not a great deal online about it. A few games came with it too, which should be interesting if I can get it going!

I picked up a rare (for the UK), early 80's microcomputer today.

Hats off to anyone who can guess what it is by the picture. There should be enough clues 😉.

I have no idea if it works. I need to do some research before powering the thing up!

I'm not a modern Dr Who fan... but I love this guy! Classic 'spooky' spaceman.

((A 5.5" figure I picked up recently.))

I've been generously gifted another vintage laptop for the collection. This time a rare Olivetti M211V (1991) laptop.
Boasting an Intel 80C286 processor, running at a dizzying 16MHz, 1MB of RAM a 20MB HDD and a 10.5" VGA screen.

A project too far? Two (very probably dead) arcade cabinets, on their last chipboard rotten legs!

Saved from going to landfill.

Still can't believe this wrecked Atari 800XL works. Going to have to clean it up now...

Finally, I have my hands on the two Atari I bought two weeks ago. Both are in a helluva state. But amazingly they still work! #atari2600 #atari #cx2600 #lightsixer #atariprojects

I'm going to be restoring two very SAD #Atari's in the near future. I'll be amazed if either are still working. It'll be fun finding out.

I received this superb repro Acorn Electron box from
consoleboxes this week - and love it!

Just waiting for a poly insert to arrive in the post and my little Electron will have a nice new home.
