You call those collector's items? How about a Saitek Cavalier for $5 (no pieces & it seizes up whenever you start beating it).

[Monsieur Plastique]

What is it about the Cavalier that makes it seize up? My first one also seized up, so it became a donor machine for certain parts that were still serviceable. Luckily the second Cavalier I bought on eBay 3 years ago continues to work fine, though I worry since it is one of several machines of which I only own one working example.

Jon, I know what you mean. My first Cavalier worked initially after I got it on eBay. Not long after it started doing flakey things. I set it aside for several weeks & after resetting it, it seemed to be working okay. I had it very much on the run & just when I was closing in, it seized up. Poor loser!

Anyway, when I find a model I enjoy, I try to always have a backup, sometimes a backup for the backup...
