My latest aquisition...

Excel Mach3
Arrived the other day. All in superb condition and complete. I've had one of
these for the last nine or so years, but it was a bare board, in very ordinary
condition. I remember having to melt a soldered joint to get it working
properly. But at $20 I could hardly complain.
This one cost quite a bit more! If Fidelity had not got greedy with the prices
we would have a lot more of these in circulation.I'm partial to the earlier
LED bedside clock style displays. They don't lose their contrast over time and
give ample information.

Thanks Paul. You don't happen to have a spare Excel Mach4 laying
around that you might like sell, do you?
Or are they mythical, existing only in the imaginations of collectors?

lol
actually I have two of these
well...kinda sorta
one of them is a factory upgrade of the Excel Mach III
it has all of the correct hardware for the ExMach IV and I have tested it against my original EXMach IV.. but sadly ..the model label still shows it as an Excel Mach III(6098) not Excel Mach IV(6110)

Oh Well Regards
Steve
