Title: Amiga 500 with Molded Logo
Post by: VuData on September 22, 2011, 02:05:29 PM
Hi,

I'm hoping to sell the house after Christmas so I'm trying to reduce my collection of retro gear. I've just got my original A500 from 1988 (and still as white as the day it was made) out of the loft and realised it has the molded Commodore logo (though the keyboard has the 2 Amiga keys). Is it worth keeping as a rarity or are these pretty common?

Thanks.

I've had a couple, though I see them much less frequently than the ones with the stickers.

Thanks. I'll be holding on to it (despite what the wife thinks). Is it just the older models that had these cases? To top it off, it still works and the copy of Obliterator that was in the drive still works (with possibly my favourite Amiga in-game tune).

Mhhh.... I didn't know: could you manage to post a picture?
Thanks!

BY!

The early Rev3 machines had a molded logo.

I guess they're rare, but not rare in the $1000 on ebay way.

I think I still have two of those cases in my cupboard somewhere.

Thanks! I didn't know... I have seen just rev.5 machines as I remember (even if a friend of mine had an A500 with Commodore keys, but I don't remember a C= molded logo on it).
Would be nice to have it too...
