Might also see if I can get a CRT from Marketplace or eBay, there's a Gateway near me from £50, although I might see how low the seller will go.

As it turns out - I decided to ask the seller how low they'd go and they'd be willing to do £20. Just need to wait until Saturday to get the money, and I should be able to pick it up then.

Really? I am surprised it hasn't been snapped up for the £50 asking price TBH. Though CRTs are harder to sell than other retro tech due to the fact you can't really post them. It really depends if there is anyone near you wanting one.

Was surprised too. Guess NI just ain't a country for retro computing nerds.
