CDTV

[SilverdoXD]

Does anyone know how much it might cost to acquire a CDTV? With remote and external floppy...? Might add that I'm US based.

As usual the answer ia eBay. I got mine for around $70 if memory serves a few years ago. That was with a pile of CDs.

Its actually pretty useless in my opinion but it looks nice in my rack and lets me say Ive always got an amiga
running. I could just use it as a CD player but these things are old and I dont want to wear out the laser optics. So it sits, a curiosity with a fluorescent clock.

I got mine for free  :-D I had a friend who never used it so he said i could take it for £5. Never did give him the money. It had an external floppy n rollerball controller. Sadly no keyboard or cd tray.
I picked up 2 trays from a bootsale for 20p then I couldnt believe my look when I found a keyboard for 50p

Well there's one going on ebay (uk) current price £62
LINKY but its like anything on ebay if your wanting something. then so does everyone else and the price goes sky high, but if your not wanting something prices are low guess its just sods law

Thanks for all the replys. The reason I was trying to get a sense of what one would go for, is because I have one for sale. And it works. lol.

I've thought of putting it on eBay, but I figured that I'd post it here first since this forums has very dedicated Amiga users.  :-D

Well, it's not that useless....

My A600 with 1MB chip, can play a lot of whdload games.

So I got some 2.30 extended roms to put in mine and kick 2 or 3. (whdload requires >kick 2). I'm planning on making a cdtv cd with some games and a simple game selector to launch them (already made the latter, and use it on the A600 without loading wb which takes precious chip ram).

And assuming that you can get a mini mega chip and an elbox fast ram expansion, then pretty much all the games will run perfectly.
