Hi Akiko!
Thanks for your reply.
As I mentioned to Marc, I've found out I bought a dud!
Regards,

Hi everyone!
I've been in touch with the guy who sold me the above mentioned CD32 and he's going to have it collected from me and a new one sent out, all at his expense! A big thumbs up to him, and to all of you who have welcomed me and given advice and support!
Kindest regards,
(You people really are tops!)
Sev.

Hey Sev, Glad to hear you're getting a replacement CD32. Hope it works out OK for you. CD32's can be problematic at times, I have to take mine apart and lube the metal rod that the laser assemby rides on as well as other bits, at least once per year...yet I know people who have zero problems with thiers. Anyway, best of luck....CD32's are nice machines, very underrated IMHO.

Thanks Marc.
I may need an idiot proof instruction guide to do that to mine if need be, so maybe you could start work on designing one for me! But make it REAL EASY to follow! Heehee!
I'm looking forward to getting a working model, the most frustrating thing is, I ordered a joy pad from Amigakit.com (Superb service!) and its sitting in front of me as I type this with no console to plug it into!!!! :boohoo:
Anyway, it will all come out in the wash as 'they' say!
Thanks for your time and I hope we'll speak soon and often.
Kindest regards,
Sev.

Hi.
I just have to say the service I have received from the guys at Amigakit.com was awesome! I swear I had only just hit enter to complete the order when it was on the doorstep!!
Well not quite THAT fast, but honestly under 24hrs from order to delivery!
Absolutely, most defiantly my top recommendation to anyone for customer satisfaction and tip top products.
Thanks guys!
Sev.

PS Joking apart, to anyone other than Amigakit.com staff reading this, I ordered an Amiga CD32 joy pad at midday on Wednesday and it arrived at 10am today (Thursday) they were also kind enough to send me an instruction booklet for the console (free of charge) as I’d mentioned I had bought a second hand unit that had arrived with no joy pad or instructions. Like I said VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Belated welcome to a.org =). Sadly I've never owned a CD32 so I won't be much help to you. And anyways, everybody knows CDTVs are better  :-P.

Thanks for the welcome Odin!
I've never had a CD32 either (until now, and in fact still don't have a working one!!) I started out with a good old Amiga 500+ then swiftly moved on to a 1200. I've always regreted selling the 1200 (like from the day I did it until the day I die most likely!) but noticed a lot of my fav 1200 games are available on the CD32, so I thought 'what the hell!' it's a 1200 without the bulk just about!
Hopefully I'm going to be sorted by the beginning of next week with a working model, so I'll let you know what I think of em!
As for the CDTV, I had the Philips CDI when they launched!

Sev.
