Couldn't even attempt to predict how high this one will go.

No bids yet, still at $0.01. Take a shot! :-)

How does one go about getting a CD drive aligned?

That is a good question. If you see the pictures, one picture shows potentiometers on the side of the CD drive. I'd guess someone could determine the drive manufacturer and get information to go from there.

No, in one of the pictures on the side of the cd drive you can see 4 plastic screw type adjustemnts.  You use those.

Here are instructions for aligning the CD drive on a CD32.  Might work for the CDTV or you can probably find specs for the drive.
Amiga CD32 CD-ROM Lens alignment

Exactly my thoughts.

I'm sure Red will answer, but remembering from my CDTV days, the wireless controller you see pictured there functions just like a joystick.  So he probably just used that.  

Correct, the controller can function like a joystick.

eBay user 0ldsk00lgamer is now added to my blocked buyers list. High bids retraced within 24 hours of auction close rewards you with a ban :furious:

Maybe thats why the bid was retracted, all we know is that *the ban* is mentioned here for some reason but I agree in principle that is why the mechanism exists.

No, dannyp1 has it dead on. The high bid that was retracted was $600 which is no accident. That is not the intention of eBay's retraction system and it is a possible serious impediment to the auction process. We are not talking about a small ticket item, dannyp1 is correct in the fact that many a possible bidder could be put off by a bogus bid.

Before you let it go are you going to be able to dump the ROM contents for poor Oli_HD who has one but with possibly faulty ROMS?

Go on, be a sport.

If it was an easy process, no problem. However, I don't have a system set up in place to create a floppy fron an ADF atm. My workshop is filled with diescted computers atm.

I wish some asked earlier.. Maybe I can dig out a A4000...

Naa no need. Another CDTV CR owner sent me a copy of one rom Im yet to burn Ive yet to try. (The main PROM on the CR at the front)
Ive also got the cdtv rom grab I did for someone that damaged the rom in the first place. (Not sure if its the PROM or the two flash chips on the IDE board)
I havent had a lot of time to look at it.

Thanks for the reply on this, I was just about to dig out a A4k from the pile. Saves me some time :-)

Not too shabby, not too shabby at all. If I ever meet you guys at a show, I'll happily buy you a pint. :pint:

Naah, I won't get rich. All profit will go to bills, debt and hopefully put a little back in savings. The last couple years has been brutal on my savings account, probably like most. Getting a little back will be comforting, especially since my (newish) day job is starting to look not so secure once again.
