Amiga 600
« on: November 01, 2006, 08:30:43 PM »
I have offered to buy an Amiga 600 from a user on AmigaWorld, and I need so advice.  The system is an Amiga 600 (not towerized) has the following:

5" LCD Screen (?)
Clockport adapter
Internal DVD-ROM (not connected)
3.1 ROMs

However, there are some things that would need to be done:

1. Needs recoating with matte clear coat paint
2. Case doesn't close
3. Half the keyboard doesn't work.

The explanations for the above are as follows:

1. So that the key stickers stay on and the paint stays protected.

2. Self explanatory

3. In what way do you suppose?

4. A 'membrane'...from what type of keyboard?

As for (4) above, I have the following questions:

1) Could I use a membrane from any ol' keyboard? Or does it have to be from:

   a) one of of those USB Belkin 'classic' ones
   b) a particular style
   c) ...

2) The paint job that needs to be done.

The PM that I received mentiona what to do, but then mentions a 'professional' paint job.  Who should I use?  Is Sherwin Williams my 'friend' in this case?  Who should I hire? :roll:

The user goes by the nickname of 'scala47', and has a website, scala.com.  BTW, it is highly unusual for an indivual to register a personal page under the '.com' namespace.

However, it is 99% unlikely that it is a hoax. :-P :-)

The person is selling it for $250.  (all the hard work...)

A lot of work...yes :-)

Does anyone have a picture of an an A600 keyboard's membrame for comparision?

Could anyone give me any insight into what keyboards I should use?  As I said, what type of keyboard layout does the A600 use?  Once I know, I'll be able to buy the right keyboard, knowing it has the right membrane, correct?

EDIT: 'crack'?  I'm not cracked.  :-P
