Acorn ALF03 Electron Data recorder. ( Well designed and good looking piece of kit ).

Acorn_electron_merlin.jpg - 51Kb
Acorn electron 'Merlin'. An electron linked to a communications pack.
These I believe were used in retail shops, I believe InterFlora used them.
Early form of computers communicating orders via a telephone line.

Advanced Computer Products - Advanced ROM MK II Adaptor, so basically a ROM cartridge.

Advanced Plus 3 - A Disc interface that fitted into one of the slots of a Plus 1
This was the next best thing after Acorn discontinued the Plus 3.

Advanced_Plus3_2.jpg - 33Kb
A closer view of the rear of the Advanced Plus 3

Boxed Electron1.jpg - 37Kb
A view of an electron boxed. NOTE: The user manual is missing, it has been replaced with
an acornsoft game package. So it looks nice but not original for the collector.

Boxed Electron2.jpg - 55Kb
Another electron with the ALF03 Data Cassette Recorder.

Complete Electron Setup.jpg - 21Kb
A fully expanded electron with Plus 3 and Plus 1 Expansions fitted.
The Plus 2 which never materialised was rumored to be an Econet expansion.

elec_2nd_processor.jpg - 21Kb
PMS 6502 Second Processor for the electron ( fitting into a Plus 1 ROM Cartridge socket ).

elec_ap3.jpg - 51Kb
An internal view of the Advanced plus 3 unit. You could add ROM's as well so it was common
to have DFS and ADFS and maybe a T2P3 which allowed "copying" of Tape software to Disc.

ElecBottom.jpg - 61Kb
The underside view of an electron, Plus 3 and Plus 1 expansion units.
NOTE: the Plus 3 has an expansion connector. This was a Shuggart for connecting
an external 5.25" drive to help with DFS and 5.25" Floppy compatibility.

A retail box for the Acorn electron. There are two designs for the box graphics.

ElecFront.jpg - 34Kb
Another view of a fully expanded electron.

A electron Issue 2 motherboard. The ULA socket was problematic and was replaced with
the chip directly soldered to the motherboard which gave perfect reliability.

elec_pcb_corrosion.jpg - 51Kb
This was some corrosion I found on one of my electrons. Could not tell if it was from a
leaking component or some external source. The board still functioned perfectly though.

Another view of the corrosion. I did suspect the capacitor to the left but I am not convinced.
