Description

Hi,

UPDATE: price drop but onlt 2 x Sinclair QL included (1 working one and one that needs a new keyboard membrane).

for sale my complete collection of Sinclair QL stuff that I have collected over the last 15 years. In all that time I have never seen such a complete system for sale in one lot. As I said, it took me well over 10 years finding all these bits in working order. Everything working unless otherwise stated.

It's a lot of money but if selling items individually on Ebay, I could undoubtably make more but I think this should go to a good home and not be broken up. Buyer has to promise me that they will look after it and not sell it on.

What's in it? Might be easier to look at the pictures!

- 3 x Sinclair QL, all UK Qwerty. One needs a new keyboard membrane

- 2 x Vision QL RGB monitor. One fully working (cost me 500 Euro alone) and one with a faulty PCB (was working but transformer T501 need to be replaced, I have schematics), otherwise tube and housing are good.

- Dual Cumana 3 1/2" floppy disk drive, currently attached to a Cumana floppy disk interface

- Single Cumana disk enclosure with Gotek (Flashfloppy) drive and USB memorty stick with some software on it.

- Miracle Systems Trump Card (also works with both disk drives)

- Tandata modem stack with all three units (QCON, QCALL, QCONNECT). Test but only so far as I don't have a landline anymore. I can hear the pulses when auto-dialling. Very important: comes with the QConnect software that is needed as it doesn't work with any other software)

- QL serial matrix printer with lead. Works but needs a new ribbon. Also comes with paper tractor and I can include a few hundred sheets of fanfold paper,

- QubIDE with 128Mb Disk on Module already formatted and ready to go

- internal 512K memory expansion (not pictured as I only bought it last month and never installed it)

- lost of documentation. Original user manuals, service manual with schematics (no photocopy!), printer manual, manuals for other bits.

- original QL box with bottom poly, but very tatty overall.

- 31 QL World magazines, including the rare first 3 issues.

- lots of microdrive cartridges (most need to be re-felted) including several original Psion packs

- lots of cables, spare feet, spare microdrives, one space motherboard with Minerva ROM, joystick adapter, serial adapter.

- two external ROM packs, one with ICE (GUI) and one with SpeedScreen. Also Lightning ROM.

- 4 QL books in great condition, lots of original receipts

- Super rare MicroRack for storing mircodrives

- memory stick with huge amount of QL software (screenshots only show small part of this). This was given to me by a guy I bought one of the QL's off. I don't know what the legal status of the software is or whether he owned the licenses so this is not part of the sale at this time.

- 5 x 3 1/2" floppy disk new and unused

I thinks that's about it, will update if I missed anything. It is late!

Any questions, post below.

Collection only.

As this stuff is very old, no warranties, especially as it's Sinclair stuff! Not the most reliable retro stuff that I own...QL's had to be fixed several time over the years, so don't expect to have trouble free computing for any amount of time!
