Default The Robin lightpen accessory for Acorn BBC Micro

Offered is "The Robin" a lightpen accessory for Acorn BBC Micro, intended for use with educational software, according to the info here; https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/33102/The-Robin-Pen/
No idea if it works, there is no software with it, the casing looks suspiciously like a repurposed Berol pen, tip is worn.

Offered at £5, postage by royal mail (large letter) at cost, if interested please leave a reply in this thread (please don't PM yet), hat open until Friday evening.

David

Could my name go in the hat please - collect Acorn BBC computers and accessories and this would be a fun thing to play around with.
