OK here are some pics...

I wanted to embed these in the post but it seems to be enforcing some format on them which chops them in half??

Work machine. Unfortunately I'm having to use the RF input on an old telly atm until I can get something better rigged up. This QL came with an RGB cable for what looks like a CUB monitor.

It's interesting to note how some of the cables supplied with the second machine have melted the surrounding plastics in small spots. The mains lead has two small sections where the polys have left a residue and the cassette cover of Tanks has a few melted areas which were in contact with the RGB cable. Maybe it's a good idea to bag all the wrapped cables when storing for a long time. The first machine I bought doesn't seem to be affected though. Odd.

Shame about Tank Busters - Battlezone is one of my favourite arcade classics and should work well with the QLs limited pallet. It's really slow and the graphics are poorly executed. Maybe someone should work on a better version?

Cheers! That QL looks brand new, very fresh. I've seen similar marks in the polys on other machines and consoles too.
