The Acorn Electron ticked almost all of the low cost computer boxes, a solid keyboard, a tried and tested CPU, a great BASIC and a hungry audience, but it just didn't catch a break against the strength of the ZX Spectrum sales and missing its Christmas release date cost it dearly. That's not to say we shouldn't give it some TLC though. In today's restoration we revive it inside and out in a joint effort to take this computer from Trash to Treasure.
