Virtually no chance of finding such in a charity shop - much better chance
at a boot fair (still not brilliant, but I tend to see Acorn stuff
(Beeb/Master/Electron) at about 1 sale in 3 - Spectrums, Amigas, and STs are
more common. Macs used never to be found, but I have seen quite a few
recently.

If you have use of a car I can let you know the locations of 4 or 5 big boot
fairs in Essex. Get up early and you should be able to go round that many in
a morning (most of them finish around midday).
