The cable was dispatched and delivered quickly and in good condition. It gives a crisp, rock steady display from my veteran BEEB on a modern flat screen TV. Audio level output seemed a bit muted at f... See more

Great product
Ordered a scart lead for my Sinclair (Amstrad) Spectrum +2, I've bought some from other companies and they never worked. This one is spot on and works perfectly. Thanks Andy & Sue.

Added new product for me
Responded very quickly to a request for an esoteric lead which was not on their website. Product arrived in 2 days and is high quality. I can now listen to my records through a 1970s preamp connected to a state of the art home automation system!

Great company
Great company. The owners are really nice people that know and care about retro machines, and was very happy with the quality of the cable I bought from them. Will definitely be back!

Gr55/Gk3 compatible 13 pin din male to male cable.
I was looking for good quality Gr55 compatible cables at a reasonable price. I have 2 branded cables which have been hit and miss to be honest. Coolnovelties offered a great price plus free delivery within UK. Cables arrived and are as described and the locking mechanism is very positive. Add in the red cap to protect the din pins and its just brilliant. Price excellent, quality excellent, delivery swift and free from a retailer you can contact. Very Happy. Now considering 5m cable when available.

One of the best places to buy retro Computer leads from
I’ve bought from cool novelties lots of times before through eBay and Amazon and I know their deliveries are usually very fast. This order took six days to arrive but I can see that it’s a Royal Mail thing. They sent it 24 hour service but I can see that the package has had a bit of travel. The leads I bought were the Atari ST and BBC B scart/RCA leads. Their work is top notch and know they’ll work perfectly
