Well, I might as well introduce myself. My names J and I'm from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I was an occasional Amiga user back in the day but never got very advanced, mainly playing games etc. However, a few months back I had the opportunity to go to an old Commodore facility that a friend of mine had purchased salvaging rights to. He asked if I'd like to take a look and told me to feel free to grab anything I wanted. The building itself was in bad shape, water in the basement, boxes upon boxes of old documents, odd hardware etc. however most was thoroughly trashed. I did manage to salvage a few pieces, like a Tank standup arcade unit (just the boards, controllers, coin-door), a couple of Commodore PC's (8086's and maybe a 286).. I also came across a few Amiga's which I quickly packed up. I posted some pictures and perhaps someone might be able to help me identify some of these pieces. I'd love to be able to get a working machine pieced together.. :)

Here's a flickr link to the photo's.

Were you at their former West Chester, PA facility?

Cool story and amazing there was still remnants of Commodore after all this time.
