Check out this rare DELTA-C vintage Soviet computer (if you can call 1991 “vintage”) that I found over on eBay. It’s apparently a clone of the classic Sinclair ZX personal computer, but it sure looks like something you’d find down in a Dharma station on LOST.

I especially like the keycaps that have paper labels with a mix of cryptic English and Cyrillic characters on them. It comes complete with some original software tapes, a terrible looking joystick and worst power brick I’ve seen since the one that comes with the Xbox 360.

The auction currently has a bid of just $1.25 (but the reserve hasn’t yet been met,) so get your bids in now!

    When I was a kid I had a Speccy with the rubber keyboard thingy. I’d have killed for that keyboard back in ‘85 ;-)
    Ah the good old days…

    Well, I had one of Delta-C computers. Yes, it looks…. strange :) , but have a look again! Today it looks as a technical art masterpiece! I could bet that one or two years later we will see iPod or something with the same design , good old times gonna be back :)
