Yes, I saw your note. I kind of figured that after nearly two months all of the previous requested transactions had already occured and that the updated photo collection was the remainder. In referrence to the photo collection, there appear to be four Masters available? One Master 128 correctly identified and pictured with the lid off, fitted with a 3.5" drive in one shot, another Master 128 (possibly a higher spec model, may be fitted with Econet at an absolute minimum, hence the request for an internal shot) and two Master ET (Econet Terminal) - my reasoning to suspect that the Master 128 is probably a Turbo fitted with an Econet as it may have been the Network server.
So, you can have a Master and I can have a Master no problems. I am ideally after ALL the Model Bs for spares. Want a Master 'cos I've never had one, but happy to wait some more.
My budget is limited, so even before I go after any of it I want to make sure I know as much about the toys as possible so I can get best bang for buck. User Antiphrasis has been very generous to give us first dibs, but I've bought too may unidentified BBC boxes that are just total duds (like the user in another thread who has had 5 * C64s before a good one arrived).
Sysop Terry has a Beeb in a box, and half the internals are scattered about in there. This I can do without. Tracking down support chips like 6522 VIAs etc gets really expensive really quick, so without a power cord on the Masters so Antiphrasis can power them up to check (don't worry if you let the white smoke out of the PSU and the crackle sound is to let you know that you're Power Co. is still delivering 240v to your house - it's an easy fix), I wanna see inside. By now, you probably do too...
