Retro Computer collection

Cool collection,

I'm desperate for a white Avocet.....

LOL, the white is the only 40 unit I have. Let me finish up my project and see if I use the white or the green/blue on it.

Those Avocets were fantastic, I've never seen another computer that I'd rather use - IME they were decently waterproofed, nice clear display, had just the functions you needed without a pile of other garbage getting in the way, and were simple to use even with tired/cold/gloved fingers.

Used a few Sigmas since which were OK too, but not nearly so robust... hated the cateye models I've used.

My Cateye Vectra just powered up when I put a battery in, my son's been using it for the past years as a camera, a computer, a whatever imaginary toy he wanted it for. It was full of blue tack but I found the back in a box of bits and it works.

Also Cateye Mity 2 user and that still going strong.

I did have another one before these two, did cadence, was grey I think and I loved it. Killed it off BiTD and couldn't afford one* again so Mity 2 it was for me. Look better than the Avocets as well.

* don't know the name if one ever gets posted i'll know it though

Went through some boxes yesterday (sorry bad photo)..



Haven't tried them yet but at least the Avocet looks like new. I have actually never seen an Avocet like this, from 80's I guess?

I had one of those Cateye Vectra's until I smashed it in a crash?? I currently have a Silver Cateye Enduro/ a purple Mity 3 and a black Mity2, all still currently in service on each of my mountain bikes.

Just opened up the top flap of a tool box and found these little babies sat there, I'm not sure if they work.
