** US customers, please see note below about tariffs etc ***

Retroleum - The Retro Spares Shop

Important note for US Customers: The US low value customs fee exemption is being abolished from 29th August 2025 - only imports declared as gifts under $100 USD will be exempt from import tariffs. There is some confusion among couriers regarding the collection of customs fees and some (eg: Royal Mail) are halting exports from Tuesday 26th August until they have systems in place. Please bear this in mind as it may well cause delays. 

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). 

I try to keep my delivery charges 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.
