Will pay good money + shipping if anyone has one of these they're willing to sell.

Price offered will depend on condition and completeness of the unit but would be offering more than one that recently sold on Trade Me.

Also open to a trade if I have anything you're interested in.

Thanks.

I remember seeing one of these about 13 years ago when i got a load of vintage computers dropped off to Avonmore Tauranga for their students to play around with.
I remember it looking like a VCR, and it had a ceramic 8088 CPU, it was not an Intel chip, but of japanese origin, i think it had NEC stamped on it from memory.

You could try calling them and see if its still there lol :)
