This is a great offer Paul, especially for a member wanting to upgrade from an CM/XP to a 64K LZ. Great price at £30.00. Watching eBay will see that the lower specification LZ32's sell for around that and the 64's the cheapest recently was £45 (and that was tatty looking) they usually hold their price at around £60-£80 so this is a bargain for any member.
How would someone know they were getting a good one?
Firstly.. from a reputable seller (the powerful pierre for example) in this case PaulK [tick]
Then does it look in good condition?
- Number keypad is a pale blue colour (not yellowish that comes with long exposure to sunlight)
- EXE (and ON/CLEAR) keys un-marked and readable
- No marks or scratches in the casing (especially the metal screen shroud)
- Screen clear and unscratched (adjustment wheel adjusts the contrast)
- Battery compartment clean (no leaking batteries)
- Is it is quite in operation - small click with a key press
no whistle or buzzing that is a sign of a failing electrolytic capacitor (more here)
Jaaps models and versions page
(here) will explain that. You can check which version you have by typing into the calculator.
PEEKB(-24) = 13 for LZ64 (= 14 for an LZ32) and PEEKB(-23) between 66 and 70 for an LZ Model
Finally... Paul is this a 'spare' LZ64 or are you letting you own go?
Sincerely and in good faith
Martin
