Plus it always bothers me when someone produces a document that has a large percentage dedicated to "not my fault" disclaimer legalese.
Haven't found that site at all, I just get the one with no shipping to US available.... besides FleeBay. lol THANKS!

granz

Glad to help. I hope that it helps get your Sinclair working.

Do me a favor? Can you put in your info in there, like you was buying one, minus payment info, and see if it accepts your address?  It says cannot ship to my address. Wonder if it's a terrif thing??

Yep, I'm getting the same:
QuoteShipping not available
Your order cannot be shipped to the selected address. Review your address to ensure it's correct and try again, or select a different address.

You are probably correct about it being a tariff issue. Maybe holding off for a while until other countries cut back on their tariffs on U.S. products, and then we can cut back on products from them.

There are Tindie stores I have previously purchased from that are not shipping to the U.S. currently (some are in the U.K.) because of the tariff issues.
