There not hard to fix and bits can be got although the costs for the spares can be high.

Right I have the tech 2 here. However I think it is nothing more than a source of spare parts. There's no card in the top and at the bottom there's just a empty slot. Lot's of interfaces and leads but the actual main lead is missing. I think what I've got is 3 systems which have been junked together in a box. There's a tech 1 reader here. That works except the main lead is once again missing and being a Tech1A the plug for the main lead is different to my Tech1 . I also have 3 modules which look like they are an interface for a laptop based system. So all in all scrap apart from maybe the Tech 1A. If I get get the proper lead for the tech1a I'll flog that on. I know I can reprogram one of the many cartridges which are with it to work with The Lotus Carlton so hopefully that will open it up to another market. It does have the mass storage cartridge which I understand to be worth a few quid I'll get some pictures up. I've had a look on Ebay (including the american site) for leads but not winning at the moment. The Tech1A seems to be much rarer than your common garden normal Tech1  :-\ :-\

Missing vehicle module. Ouch. No idea on cost.

The 32Mb card is about £300 - I've had to buy loads of these.

Is there any reason why you've had to buy so many memory cards?

Like most early flash technologies (and more modern ones ;D), they ain't the most reliable...  ...and being linear, not ata, no scope for mapping out bad parts.
