It will be interesting to see what this item goes for as that will tell if it is really the "holy grail" of TS.

IMHO - if there is a "holy grail" for TS, I would say it is the TS1510 Cartridge Player and its 4 cartridges, with the boxed power supply for the TS2020 second, and the TS2090 third.

The Joystick isn't at all rare. Zebra Systems used to sell them right up until the end. The Joystick adapter is just a Timex Portugal branded version of the Kempston interface, I believe.

I have a Kempston somewhere.
