A rather strange one: a Nick chip in a holder!

I bidded on it! I have machines with dead Nick

If it is unused, it might not work, might it? As I know, if those components aren't used for a long time, they may go wrong. (As, for example, the cassette tape players, if you do not use them for many-many years.)

Electrical and mechanical items are different things! For your example the tape player has a lot of rubber parts which can be deformed when not used.

That EP128 looks nice, box in good condition.

Zozo, on a different note I have a spare 64K internal memory expansion if you
know anyone who might like it.  I was going to upgrade my EP64 but I decided
not to as I already have a EP128.  This is an original EP memory upgrade and
will need to be soldered in.

Another Arabic EP64

Boxed German EP128

Another boxed German EP128, interesting: it is from UK, and the PSU has a UK plug.

Cheap Arabic EP64.
It is out of order, but I think it is very easy to repair! From the failure details I think (99.999%) the internal 12V PSU circuit doesn't work. (It is used by the PAL video ICs and the internal speaker amplifier.)
It is a very common problem. The TR2 (BC337) transistor is dead, needed to be replaced. It can be damaged again by the dried out C9 capacitor, it's a good idea to replace this, especially if the motherboard uses PHILIPS electrolytic capacitors.

The machine has the green joy cap which is a rare treasure!
