I am looking for a Sony HB-201P MSX computer. I had one when I was a young boy and I'd like to have one in my living room again.

The computer must be in good condition (all ports and keyboard working) and must visually be in good conditions as well (I don't want junk in my living room). Please send me a hires photo of the computer if you have one you like to sell.

I know there's a HB-201P on ebay.nl. But that's not an option: there's no close up photo so it's hard to assess the visual condition of the computer. I also think € 100 is way too much for an MSX-1 computer.

Hi Hap. I'm not that picky. I already bought an MSX-1 and MSX-2 computer from Marktplaats to enjoy my old hobby again and reply the Konami games I used to play a long time ago. I also installed an MSX emulator on my laptop.

However, I still remember the Sony HB-201P which I once bought. I enjoyed it very much back then and I think it's one of the best looking computers ever made. So would like one again as a showcase in my living room; that's why it has to be in good visual condition.

I think I have a 201P, it's in Nijmegen, so you could probably even visit to check it out Smile

Oh, do you want a black or a white one?

Hi Manuel, I just sent you an email. Nijmegen is very close to Arnhem. White or black doesn't matter that much, if the computer still is in good condition.

Hi mais1976. Yes, Manual was first. But your pictures would be greatly appreciated so I can see if it's really in good condition. I don't mind ending up with two 201p's (preferbly black and white) if they're both in good condition and not too expensive. Could you also give a price estimate?
