Old metallic Amiga badge

[save2600]

Excited as a kid in a candy store w/ my A3000, I had to share this other anomaly: stuck over the C= AMIGA labeling on the front of the case(it was ugly there actually), was this metal adhesive badge of yore. It's exactly the same size as the badging on a 1080 monitor, but I've never actually seen these used. I've recently seen super early A1000 models that had the Boing Ball on the case instead of the Checkmark, but anyone know what's up with this singular piece? Maybe a leftover from the really early 1080 or 'HR' series monitor days? Someone obviously thought it was the shit, else they wouldn't have mucked up an A3000 case for it. :-(

BTW: no A3000 cases were harmed in the removal of this thing...  lol  But it does look like with a little bit of finesse, the old badge could be made flat again

I know... I HATED removing it - but I really, really wanted the front of the A3000 to be unadulterated. There was a thought that ran through my mind as I was oh so carefully peeling that bastard up: "what if there's a flaw, scratch or gouge underneath?"...  lmao  Glad not at the expense of this poor thing!

Wow - great info!  But still... for it to show up on an A3000 (and you could tell it was not removed from something and simply applied here) was pretty cool. I've straightened her out pretty good - but am thinking about taking a heat gun or hair dryer to her next... This is one rare case where I'd like to see her totally flat.  :lol:

For sure. It's not a "heavy metal" though, mind you. The stuff is very pliable - like some kind of aluminium composite. Would only heat it from the back side if I were to attempt it, but will probably just leave it. Yeah, right! lol  I'll get this sucka back to 100% straightness and sell it on ePay as some kind of long lost NOS masterpiece. lol

Okay, okay - lol   I won't be taking a heat source to her... actually, rubbing the damn thing unconsciously like a rubbing stone seems to be doing the trick. I'll post pictures in about a week when she's all done.   :lol:
