Tangerine Advert - January 1983

Tangerine had been around for a few years, and had previously been selling a 6502-based one-board computer called the Microtan.

This was abandoned after around 10,000 systems had been sold, but was rescued by Microtanic computers in 1983^[1].

Meanwhile, Tangerine's technical director Paul Johnson founded Oric Products International in St. Ives - the original home of Sinclair Radionics - in order to develop the Oric, but this advert clearly shows the transition before this happened, when the Oric-1 is advertised as made by Tangerine.
