Lynx I Shell

[displaced]

Hello!

 

After losing an ebay auction for an XEGS earlier today, I thought I might as well rescue my Lynx I from the loft and try to resuscitate it.

 

It had a hard life. The case is cracked, the battery cover's missing and the LCD's permanently bright. I seem to remember the only way I could get it working back in the day was to use one of those 'multi-connector' AC adapters -- stupid young me discovered that it worked if I sent power in via the Comlynx port. Who knows what doing that has broken!

 

Anyway, I'm going to do the MOSFET/Zener replacement, a capacitor refresh, and I've got a McWill LCD replacement on the way.

 

So, assuming that all works, I'd love to clean up its exterior.

 

Does anyone know where I could source a Lynx Mk. I shell? I suppose I could wait for a broken, parts-only unit to appear on ebay, but thought there'd be no harm asking here in case there's one available for someone in the UK to buy!

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

I've got a fully working Lynx Mk1 for sale. It's got a slight bit of wear on the cartridge flap and the rear and then a few scratches to the screen lens.

I was looking for £45 posted?

Sounds great! Would you mind posting a photo or two if you have a chance?

 

Cheers,

Chris
