I also went to a hamfest but in the UK we call them radio rally's and
picked up a MEMOTECH MTX512 with book for 1.50 pounds , a AMSTRAD 6128
also for 1.50 pounds ( wanted for the disk drive ) a SPECTRUM +3 for
5.00 pounds (wanted also for the disk drive ) but its all boxed and
like new so to good to break up for bits a DRAGON 32 for free also
boxed . But the prize find was a ZX80 with manual , building
instructions and a few ZX80 news ( The newsletter for the ZX80 user
club ) still got the blue keyboard and 4K rom all for 27.50 pounds
....
