Merlin in all its glory
Merlin was made by a company called Parker Brothers back in 1978. It's about the size of a man's shoe and looks kind of like a telephone that's red and burgundy in color  There's a built in speaker at the top end and two sets of flat, membrane style buttons. One set of buttons is a numeric keypad with the numbers 0 thru 10, laid out like a pushbutton telephone but with buttons zero and ten above and below the numeric keypad. On the lower end of the game are four buttons labeled New Game, Same Game, Hit Me, and Comp Turn (which is used to indicate when it's the computer's turn to play).

That's why I refer to the VIC-20 as the computer for the masses. Read More for details

It never hurts to ask!!!
Friday, 22 February 2008
Between my job, family, and other responsibilities, I'm working as efficiently as I can to get some extra stories up here. I'm also going through items I have for sale for the electronics hobbyist and collector.
 
I want to thank all of those that's visited so far. Meanwhile, if you are a serious collector or hobbyist, feel free to ask for something. If I have the item, we can try to make a deal. I will continue to post what I can, when I can, to my online store. I'm still working up the categories, so expect them to increase.

I'm going through a lot of old, salvage equipment. I'm finding all sorts of parts, both electronic and mechanical. Some of them I'm keeping. The rest will be posted for sale on this website in the near future.
