Assuming you reached the mark of 500 computers, how many of you can say that work in its entirety? The technicians say it's necessary for to work every 3 months at the most.

Hi Oswaldo

my current total (not counting doubles or triples.)..is 462.

of these i know of 7 defects
Novag Savant I,II and Royale-3
Novag Robot Adversary-1
Excalibur-Mirage-1
Fidelity EAG V6(1 dead Reed Switch)-1
Russian Mattel(fading lcd squares)-1

of course its possible there are more defects that i dont now about because
i cannot play with every computer.. every year.. let alone every 3 months
at best i try to check 4-5 per week so perhaps 1/2 every year

the good news is ...when i do discover a new defect i can send the computer to an expert repairman i know who almost always can fix it

Defective Regards
Steve

The rate of defective computers, whereas 462 machines is acceptable. Whereas in the normal course of an audit considers normal errors not exceeding 5% of the Partners' accounts and yet, whereas 1 dead Reed Switch is very easy to be fixed, you have an error rate of 1.3%! Nice, I am available to measure the value of your collection, considering also the goodwill! Send me ticket first class São Paulo to USA!

Steve,
I called carpenter to do a budget to restore a computer, wood is too old. He considered: why do you need so many computers? See, I have somewhere around 40, not 400! lol. Nobody will understand why we love these machines, only collectors!

Oswaldo
