While it's obviously essential to add a 10C to any collection, it is frustrating to have to spend as much or possibly more than an 11C (a much better machine) for a machine that most of us will likely never use, other than to characterize what it will not do. Sigh... Addiction is never pretty....

That's crazy thinking, collecting is all about rarity. The fact that the 10c, 70, 10, and other simple machine are more valuable than their more complex siblings is a sign that our hobby is more than just a nerdy fetish.

Well I did get a very nice 10C, so... yeah. Much more!

Very nice find, Harald!

So for a complete Voyager collection, would a person need each type of 12C and also 15C-LE ?

Congrats!!

Uhm, ok, in that case it is not complete ;-P
I have the original 10C, 11C, 12C, 15C and 16C. I then have a 12c made around 2002 with one CR2032 cell and a 15CLE. But no 12C Platinum and none of the newer versions.
I still consider it complete - that is better for my wallet Smile
