Hello All,
You guys are going to think I am an idiot for doing this when you read my story.You can only learn from your mistakes.
I had spare mint white 030 A4000 panel,I had no use for it as my spare A4000 is also mint white which is also 030 but has Warp Engine put in.So I had no use for it so during rubbish collection day I just trow this panel away with other rubbish (no other Amiga gear) and didn't think much about it.Several years ago I use to sell(they were all white) A4000 on Ebay for several reasons but mostly to make quick cash.(I wouldn't do it today A4000 are getting quite rare now.)Anyway month later I was given my first yellowed A4000 for nothing.It was one of first A4000's 040 with A2000 size disk drive which is still white and Buster 9 least it was socketed (so I can change it if I can find one) and it had Picasso 4 GFX card GVP Scsi card.Anyway back to the white panel I trow away,I was kicking myself as I keep this yellow A4000 on top of my mint white spare A4000 desktop as I have no room put it anywhere else and I keep the A4000's on top of my computer desk it looks horrible together.(My main Amiga is 4000T is under my computer desk) It's getting to stage where I want to get panal preferentially painted white I have seen some good jobs on Ebay.
I could be wrong but from my experance early A4000 (1992) panal's were more prone to getting yellowed than the later versions with the 030 slimline disk drives A4000 version's came out in mid 1993 to early 1994 But I could be wrong.Like to hear your comments.Merv :-?
