My Model B is sitting in a heap of things behind my armchair.
I reckon there's a good chance it'd still work if I plugged it in. If I do plug it in, and strange smells exude from it absent of the "beeeep-BEEP!" that indicates a successful boot, I'll go and hang around the entrance to Zeity's place of work until I can persuade him to fix it
("I know where you..." etc. - once I found the buddleia on StreetView, I knew )

I think I gave my BBC B to my brother in law for nothing about 20 years ago. I might raise an invoice.

Coz those capacitors in the power supply don't half make a pong when they let the magic smoke out.
