are we still sharing crazy ebay postings?

Every TV repairman is eager to repair old TVs and monitors: no SMDs, easy to replace capacitors, no imbedded processors.  All they can do with modern equipment is swap out boards IF they can find a replacement.  But a CRT that has lasted 30 years will likely last another.

Odd, it says it is a "Debug" board -- I assume a prototype testing board (?)

How about $436.32 for a Gotek?

But your not just paying for the Gotek, but also the custom, badly cut out and poorly applied stickers...

[danbeaver]

what about this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/A1-AmigaOne-PPC-750-GX-A1-C-800Mhz-OS4-Complete-System-Amiga-CNet-BBS-5-10b-/221620546041?pt=US_Vintage_Computers_Mainframes&hash=item33999d29f9

Interesting lack of editing, "[FONT="]life left in it weather you choose to run the BBS, "[/FONT][FONT="] first classically run 86000 processor developed, [/FONT][FONT="]received the 2nd new license released under the new ownership which this machine runs," and "[/FONT][FONT="]and that is fine totally ok."[/FONT]

Hold on!  He has it here in his store:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Emulador-disquetera-USB-Amiga-Gotek-USB-8GB-Floppy-Emulator-/201120970330?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&hash=item2ed3be765a

For 449.99 Euros or $553.35 USD.  Gosh, what a combo deal, an 8 GB USB thumb drive for just 100 Euros more!  

It must be that "New Math" people complain about.

It might be worth the postage ($24 AU)

Back in the 1990's I had a 17" Princeton monitor that had that same shape and a weight of 56 pounds; it felt like a monster.  I finally gave it away to Goodwill hoping a user with a strong back would benefit (and took a few hundred bucks off my taxes).  My 1764 monitor seems to weigh less in the 30 to 40 pound range and isn't that long.

[danbeaver]

Do you think he knows that by the time you add all that into the mix, you could have an A4000 with CSPPC and Mediator maxed to the Wazoo?

[danbeaver]

OMG,

The Darth Vader of Amigas:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amiga-4000d-040-NON-FUNZIONANTE-/301480188979?pt=Altro_Informatica&hash=item46319e9c33

Sadly, the price would be OK if the case were not ruined.

[danbeaver]

Oh, the motherboard would cost more to repair than it is worth, but an intact case is hard to come by; the seller did, by the way, ruin any chance of selling the case due to his lack of working brain tissue.  I'm sure though that using one's brain as radiator keeps your head cool, especially if one is wearing a propeller beanie.

[danbeaver]

What did he do?  I was just barely thinking a black Amiga 4000D would be awesome, since I just saw that CD32 that had a black keyboard.  But I can't tell if this guy's case has some sort of plastic wrapping on top of it (kind of looks that way) but you can see where a monitor sat for a long time and left a mark.

Oddly, if it's just the 040 card, I have one sitting in my closet, but it is hard to tell if there is battery damage.  Plus, I already have one, which after making it less loud, and soon I should be getting my IDE killer soon, it's right where I want it

That CD32 for 2800 bucks... It seems I've seen 4000Ts going for about that much with everything in them.

There seems from the pics to have a whole IC chip missing to the left of the battery area.

[danbeaver]

I believe that he's cursed himself.

[p.s., do those spots on the case cover look like semen?  I mean I get excited over Amigas, but not to that extent.]

[danbeaver]

Huge lot of vintage Mac and Apple stuff.  I know the IIGS's alone are worth more than this.  Wonder what this will go up to?  Man, what I wouldn't give to find a lot of Amiga stuff like this!  C'mon, I know some of you hoarders are going to die someday!

Yes if the shipping does not kill us first

[danbeaver]

Here is a flippin' whole TRS-80 Model III for the same price:

[danbeaver]

Well when no body buys it, his wife will call it junk and trash it.

[danbeaver]

But the shipping is AWESOME!
