I was hoping to pick up a supposedly working but long stored away 3000 for $200. I asked the guy to boot it in case the battery had killed it. It didn't boot. I took it for $50 for a worst case as a parts machine anyway in case I ever do find a working 3000. Sadly, opening it up wasn't as pretty a sight as I had hoped. Between that and my 2000 recently not finding the HD has got me a bit down on the old hardware lately. I'm a bit scared to try my 1000 and 4000 that haven't been tried for a while now. I now have all the Amiga models I wanted to collect, I just don't have all working ones, and I fear less will work over time. Now it seems like I probably need a spare of each model just so I can diagnose what is wrong in some cases.
