Title: Make us an offer!
Post by: videogirls on December 07, 2004, 02:40:11 PM
Make us an offer!

We can tear the system apart and sell it piece by piece, or we can sell it as a whole. We've been told the power supply is not functioning properly. We have an AVID and no longer need this system. Can provide more detailed info if requested.

Thanks.

2 1384 monitors
Video Flyer non-linear editing system
2 4-gig scsi drives
1 octopus cable set to connect flyer to amiga
1 chasis with scsi cables

1/2 gig scsi audio drive
1 internal dat drive
1 ide CD player
all cables required to connect everything
Millineum edition Video Toaster software and manual;
All basic amiga software and manuals.

Too bad it´s a US system. It would cost half a fortune to get it to Europe  :oops:

I offer $100USD + shipping, for the A4000 without any of the extra expansions. Basically I need the system itself, with the CPU card and 2MB chip ram, and nothing else. I'd offer more, but it looks like it could be a non-working system as you can't confirm whether it's really only the power supply that's failed. No pictures, no information about the battery (e.g. leakage/corrosion), no info on the buster chip revision, no info on whether the SIMM slots are broken or not...$100 should be OK, I believe.

Let me know by PM if interested.

@ Effy

also, can we use  Toasters in Europe? I thought they were NTSC only.

I will give you your choice of either a piano(or organ) prelude and fugue using full proper contrapuntal technique, or a short concerto for chamber orchestra for the whole thing, featuring your choice of classical instrument for the solo and cadenza(Yes, the Theremin is a classical instrument BTW)  Of course, you will also receive all publishing rights to said works, and your name will be on the dedication.

What do you say?
 :-D

A 1384 is a 1438 (but typed quickly  :-D )

Now now, X56, you know that it is bad to advertise false attributes of goods

Ooops! That would actually be a 1084 monitor and a 1080. Sorry about that! :oops:

May we give you any details about the boards etc?
We'd be happy to do some sort of test to see what the deal is, if that helps any.
And, see the note below.  That is a 1084 monitor and a 1080.  Sorry about the sloppy typing.

I got this system off of videogirls and first thing was to tear it down to see what problems there might be with it. :-?  I replaced the battery, power supply fan, -5V Regulator, and polarized audio capacitors.  I also trimmed the long pins on the motherboard and daughterboard.  The system hard drive was full of bad sectors, so I replaced the drive with a space drive I had and installed workbench 3.1, since it had Kickstart 3.1 in it.  Now I need to get a IDE CDROM drive to put in the 4000 case, so I can install AOS3.9 and the Toaster/Flyer software.  I identified the Flyer card as one of the cards which was recalled for a wrong capacitor (they used a 6V instead of 16V), so I still need to get one of those to replace it with.  I haven't got to use the Toaster or Flyer yet, since I don't have the floppy versions of the software and I have no cd drive in the Amiga.  I must say that overall the system was very clean and well taken care of.  It was listed as an A4000/040, which it was at one time, but I was delighted to see that it actually had a Cyberstorm MkIII 060/50 in it. :-o
