It doesn't have to be HUGE to look nice, and your collection looks NICE!

Love the setup, the old model TV's and computers are sweet...and so is that Pit Fighter arcade!

A CALCULATOR COLLECTION! THat's a first...can you give a little insight on them? Why you collect them and are any of them valuable?

Your collection get's an A+ in my book!

btw...I feel stupid for asking cause I see it all over the place...but who's the man on the red flag?

He's some communist guy i think they killed. His name's Che Guevara.

I'm not a commie

If you want me to put a different flag up, feel free to send me one!

[EnemyZero]

Maybe he collects them because, by pressing down a special key they play a little melody.

Anyone else amused by a Che Guevara flag hanging in a room that's a monument to materialism?

Nice collection.

Nice collection. I love the PAL Playstation cases. They look so much nicer on the shelf than the regular CD jewel cases we are stuck with.

[tholly]

nice collection....you really need to explain the calculators though......

[Tank]

Very nice collection

About the calculators.......

My eBay name is retro-technology. I used to collect, or try to collect anything that was retro and electronic. Alas, it can't be done, well not unles you happend to have your own warehouse anyway.

Reluctantly I came to a decision to (mostly)only collect cartridge (and of course disc) based systems and games. i.e I have a C64 and an Atari 800xl, but only collect carts for them.

But, I have a soft spot for calculators still, they are small and take up less room than computers, most people don't collect them, so they can be picked up cheaply when found in the wild. I think they look cool, the RED led ones, especially.

The first electronic item that I ever owned was a TEXET red led, it cost me £8 of birthday money in the 1970's. So, that cabinet houses my calculators, for now, altopugh whenever I get a cool handhel;d it goes in there too.

My entire calculator collection isn''t that valuable, the most expensive one, is probably worth about £40, it's a Sinclair Oxford.

rare Texas Instrument ones do turn up in Bedford, as their U.K head office used to be here.

btw...I feel stupid for asking cause I see it all over the place...but who's the man on the red flag?

he helped Fidel Castro take over Cuba....and if you have seen Evita...hes one of the main characters (although technically Che was about 4 when the events in Evita took place in Argentina)

[THXII38]

He also travlled across South America on Norton motorcycle, as written about in the "Che Gueavara Motorcycle Diaries"
