In the basement today we have quite a rare machine (for North America:) The BBC Master 128. It's an evolution of the original Acorn BBC Micro from 1981. My first task is to service the PSU and convert it to 120v, then see if this machine is working.

Got my first programming experience on the BBC Micro at school! (We never had anything as fancy as a Master though). Those heavy cube monitors and the "beep-boop" startup sound are iconic.
