Title: Prototype charger on eBay
Post by: kamilb1998 on 31, December, 2012 - 22:38:47
Anyone ever seen one before? It is being sold as part of a job lot of chargers, pods and control boxes.

That looks like an interesting collection. Did the standard chargers come in black as well?  The ones I have seen have all been grey.
The prototype charger looks like a standard 4amp charger of the period. I wonder if it is branded as sinclair.

I have seen a couple of black chargers but don't know if they were black from the factory. The one I have and most of the once I've seen have been grey.

The prototype charger does look to have a Sinclair sticker on it.

I was going to buy it for the pod then sell the battery charges on again but this is what he said about the pod
"The pod was one used in my repair gig."
It has put me off a bit now
