Amstrad PCW8256 value - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

My brother has an old Amstrad PCW8256 which he wants to get rid of. Before he tries selling it does anyone have any idea what the value of it, if any, may be. I believe it's complete but hasn't been used for a number of years.

I don't think it's worth much but what do you think?

No great value I'm afraid. You could try watching eBay for a few weeks. I suspect the best you can hope for is that somebody will be prepared to save it from the skip.

And if it hasn't been used for a number of years, it will almost certainly require the black goo to be scraped out of the disc drive and replaced with a new drive belt.
