ZX81 + Timex : should I buy this for 50 euro? Fast response!

I got an offer for 50 euro, but I only need the ZX81 for the hires games. So, anyone interested in the rest?
Should I do it?

You could sell the memotech keyboard for a nice sum quite easily. I expect some people here would like it, also they sell well on eBay.

If the machines are in a working condition you would be paying a good price. Even if you need a new membrane or ULA then I think you're still in good shape.

And you never know, you may like the Memotech keyboard. It's much nicer to use than a membrane keyboard. And as a bonus, it means you can use ZX81's even if the ZX81's own keyboard is faulty.

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!

Well, OK - membrane keyz aren't good for games. That's true. ;)

But I wouldn't work on anything different than the original keys. ;)
