Wanted: Amiga 500 Chinon FB-354 Drives
« on: October 17, 2008, 02:44:58 AM »
Hello... I have a bit of a hardware dilema... I bough a bunch of amiga Chinon FB-354 Rev B drives and some Chinon FZ-354 drives to refurb 4 Amiga 500's. However, The FB-354's are the model that only fits the 2000's properly, with the smaller button\faceplate, etc. (my assumption that all fb-354 were alike was wrong obviously. I believe the one that fits the 500's is a FB-354 Rev A with the larger button and no faceplate... I also tried the fz-354's these are too small and the power cable doesn't reach and button and insertion holes don't matchup...

To make a long story short I have two fb-354 Rev B drives for trade and one fz-354 for trade for an Amiga 500 version of the FB-354 (rev A I believe).

I need 4 of these drives and will buy or trade for them as needed. I am offering $30.00 a piece for tested working A500 style FB-354 drives. Please make sure you are offering the A500 version of the drive... PM me if you have any you want to part with. I need these ASAP.

Thanks in Advance.

Reid will hook you up, he's been a Commodore dealer since 1982!

If he's not the oldest still extant Amiga/Commodore dealer, then he's bound to be in the top three for that honor :-)

Tell him Bolton sent you :-)

I have done business with him before but on these items he is way over priced... He wants $99.00 for one of these fb-354 drives... Thats $400 for four... I could buy (2) 1200's for that...
