Retroleum - The Retro Spares Shop

Seasons Greetings! Just a heads-up: The store will be closed from Saturday 20th December to Saturday 3rd Jan 2026. I'd like to thank my customers for their orders this year and wish you all best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Cheers, Phil :)

December 9th: Overseas orders - Due to the customary postal slowdown at this time of year, orders shipped outside the UK may not now arrive before Christmas.

USA Customer Tariffs:  The current US administration has imposed a 10% tariff on goods sent from the UK to the US. Because Royal Mail are collecting this fee when shipping labels are purchased (unlike the rest of the world where it is collected just prior to delivery) a 10% surcharge is now added to the cart total when USA is selected as the shipping zone. Note: Orders cannot be sent as "gifts" and the value has to be accurately declared.

Retroleum sells various new, old stock and salvaged components mainly for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 (but also a few items for the VIC20, C16, Plus4, ZX81 etc). 

Delivery charges are kept as low as possible - the actual postage cost of each order is calculated automatically, taking into account the size and weight.  Overseas customers should bear in mind that VAT and admin charges may be charged on arrival by their local mail service before they will release the package - please see this page for more information. I am currently posting orders on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (orders can be placed any time, but I need a few days away from processing orders each week to build up stock etc).

To help with repairs I have some general fault-finding information here.
