I normally chop the legs off unwanted chips at the first signs of them not coming out of the motherboard easily in order to avoid damage but went the extra mile for this one as it is quite cool.


Looks like they could not decide which week it was made:


I was a little disappointed that the legs were silver and not covered in the goldie lookin paint.

Guess it is not ideal for the soldering process.

What gold? - I’ll let this site explain…

A very nice condition issue one (seems to be working ok) with a bonus book I have not had before. One for the collection.

A working issue three and RAM pack, plus some tapes. Not checked them yet…


And inside lots of nice sockets.

Nice little collection there Lardo. Later issue RAM module too ( taller letters just for reference)

Thanks Moggy - are the later issues more reliable do you know?

To be honest lardo I couldn't say as I never got my hands on one.
But as memory modules go they are about the best of the bunch in any form I think.

A lovely, hardly used, boxed and working issue three with a few extra bits of paper work (which I will be keeping).

I got sick of searching for suitable sizes boxes to ship boxed zeddies in so I bought a bunch of correctly sized boxes. Or at least I assumed correctly sized. Will find out shortly!

I smiled at the line "SHIP boxed Zeddies.."

Pallets would be easier I suppose.

Guess I just need the pallet…


The zeddy fits nicely with plenty of space for extras and not having to put the PSU inside the box and cause more damage to the polys.


I think a little more than half of these go abroad - ‘Lardo International’…
