Went along today. Got there early. Lots of vintage radio kit as expected. Did manage to pickup a PiTop kit for £40. The box is a bit mouldy from being stored somewhere damp but otherwise seems ok. And a tiny HP Elite desk 800 G3 mini with an extra M2 256GB nvme drive and 2.5" 256gb SSD. Quite chilly early on. Not a lot of computer stuff and very little game kit this year sadly. Then again it is a HAM bootsale so not a great surprise #RaspberryPi #HAMRadio #DDRC #BootSale

My #BootSale find was this #Casio #calculator. It comes with GAMES! Cost me £3 ... well the bag I bought it with cost £3, guy threw the calc in for free. Do love a little brown Casio. And more games for me to be rubbish at 😄

#Bootsale very quiet due to #Brighton Marathon, but did pick up a couple bits for @TonyFishlock. A #Merlin game (never understood them 🤷‍♀️) it needs batteries/testing and an #Amstrad disk box (it's a box, should work!).
