Ok Yes this is an early ZX81, but it's pretty standard apart from the early buggy ROM.

Still that doesn't justify the £1499 asking price.

Cheers.

I have an even earlier one with a ULA date stamped 8111 meaning week 11 of 1981. The one linked in the post above has a date stamp of 8130 meaning week 30, so it was nowhere near the beginning of the production run. I doubt that the seller will get anything near that price, unless a rich person who has done no research happens along...

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

That eBay URL is spot on... :lol:

That's just a regular issue 1 production model, right? Which aren't rare or valuable in the case of ZX81's. Granted an early one, but not that early either. And wasn't there a 3rd / earlier ULA type other than the later 2C210 and before the 2C184 that's pictured?

Maybe seller is confused with a ZX Spectrum issue 1. Oh wait, those aren't that rare, or that valuable either.... :D

But indeed, maybe some egghead buyer will let seller hit the jackpot. Then again, maybe not.

You horrible mean lot!!!

Have you not seen the sellers address!?

This is a genuine CAMBRIDGE ZX81 hang your heads in shame, I'm writing him a cheque immediately I finish this and I demand everyone apologises for being mean to him. :lol: :lol: :lol:


Having just consumed a half bottle of single malt Moggy realises he is being very silly and has gone for a lie down, whilst Mrs Moggy sighs and rips up the cheque. :oops:
