Not to hijack this guys thread BUT:
you quote this ridiculous story on many message boards every few years and get it wrong 90% of the time. that guy was ME! :rolleyes:
the 4k you sent had rat piss(or cat piss) and droppings in it. It had cap leaks that ate a trace on the 3640 that i repaired,and battery leakage as well as audio circuit problems.broken simm connectors i had to replace. I sent your items asap and you took many months to send me the 4000. I didnt get it free, i traded you working parts for a sight unseen amiga 4000 and even tossed in a new amiga mouse because you had whined your current mouse was bad.
the only part you got right was i did get it working in a day,but it did need lotsa parts(caps,coin cell battery,massive cleaning etc) and work to fix it.
I still have the 4000 here today and i did not sell it on ebay and make a zillion $$.
I'm sorry you have sour grapes,but there was a fair deal done here-i sent what you asked for quickly and you sent what i took a chance on (many months later.) You forgot to mention the rat terds and pee in the thing and battery damage and broken simm connectors but you didnt hear me whining about it since i took it sight unseen.

rat s h i t and pee in the a4000 wtf???... people that disrespect the amiga this way should not be allowed to own one in the first place...
