2 more Alberts on eBay - Spares and repair

2 more Einsteins on eBay - Bidding is reasonable for 2 machines, but look at the state of the cases! - looks like they have been uncovered on the floor of a shed for the last 25 years! - Listed as untested spares and repairs, and I can see why.

I bet they both come filled with free retro 'Blue' smoke :)

It could be they were used in a car garage or other industrial type workplace. The 80 col card suggests this.

UNfortunately, I don't have the room at the moment to store them for future preservation, so hopefully, they get some TLC from the buyer!!

I did put an offer on them but obviously the seller did not consider it ‘serious’ enough and rejected it.
Given the state of these and that a boxed one just went for £152 I figured my offer was reasonable - but if they want £500 for them maybe not!

Only £160? As they were asking £500 elsewhere I thought they would cancel the auction before the end if it didn’t get very far.

Irritatingly I missed the end of the auction.
