 Odd,I thought the rf modulator came standard with the 500.

 Anyway,bought my first Amiga A500 in the spring of 1991 or1992 from the Sears franchise store in Aurora,Indiana.Someone had ordered it but never picked it up so the store owner had it on his "specials" table.Sears had it at a catalog price of $700 but Roy sold it to me for $199 as it had been in inventory too long. Hooked it up to a 19 inch color TV/monitor combo bought ($150 at clearance,naturally) at the Kroger grocery chain.Got a 512 memory and clock trapdoor card from some mailorder company for about $69.And later that summer a 1200 baud Amiga modem for $9.99 at the Swallen's  in Cincinnati,Ohio.
  Test Drive,Tetris, and Amigaterm were most used.
   Still have the A500 .
