Hate to sell / Hella broke! 2000, 1200, misc items
« on: November 13, 2009, 04:13:52 PM »
Hi all.  I hate to sell these, but I am in a bad position and have some bills to catch up.  I was hoping to build a really nice amiga system with these, but with the option of emulation, and the high prices of hardware, I am just afraid having the real thing is beyond my means right now.

Item 1:

Mint NOS Amiga 2000.  I bought this in about 96, from a guy who had about a hundred of them unopened new in the box.  I opened it and removed the battery about 3 years ago, it had JUST started to leak so I cleaned up the board and it had no damage.  I did put in a Holder for a coin battery, but never put a battery in it.  It is the 2000HD model, REv 6 mother board (I believe) and has literally only been turned on 2 times.  Unfortunately due to several moves etc I have lost the keyboard and mouse, as well as the included books getting a little frayed etc.   But this is an ULTRA clean amiga 2000, probably as close to brand new as you could hope to find.


Item 2:

Somewhat abused amiga 1200.  I got this with a non working mouse port, found a blown "Fuse" (Small chip on the board) for that port.  I just bypassed it as I had no way to get the proper fuse, so you have to be careful what you plug in!  It works fine however.  I installed a small (4gb) ide harddrive from an old laptop and it boots to os 3.1 fine.  The floppy drive is a bit dodgy, generally works, sometimes have to eject and reinsert the disk.  Other than that its pretty much all there, just the harddrive is loose inside as I didnt have the mounting bracket, etc.  Probably best converted to a tower, all the keys are there etc, but its a bit yellow.


Items 3- ?  I have a large collection of copied disks I picked up at a yard sale, basically dont know how good they are, most seemed to work a few years ago when I fooled with them, some are magazine cover disks, a few original discs and games, mostly copies.

I have some misc joysticks, hard to say.  LOL.   Not much of an ad HUH, guess its cuz I hate to sell this stuff.  

Anyways, the main item is the 2000, its really nice and great for a collector or someone looking for a great machine to build up.  Dont really know what its worth, or any of it really, so shoot me some offers.  Guess I would trade it all for an amiga 4000 to build, however I really shouldnt as I need the money.  

:(   Unless someone has a cheap flicker fixer and accelerator for the 2000 :D  Dang I am so TORN LOL  I can do so much easily with emulation, but its hard to beat turning on the REAL thing!

Probably an important point! I am in the US, Ohio to be exact.  I imagine sending this sucker overseas would be a $$$ because its quite heavy.  Thanks!
