Its a long story....
A few weeks ago I was talking to a friend of mine and he casually said that he had an A4000 and 10 years ago he sold it to a local TV station to which he gave me the name (lets call this A). I knew a guy who works with me that used to work with TV station 'A' and I asked him if there could be a possibility that the A4000 was still there, and he promptly phoned an ex-colleague to check for me - the reply was that they would get back to me.
Yesterday, on my birthday I get a phone call from my workmate that he is driving to my house with a big-ass tower. It turned out to be an Amiga 4000T, which was just saved from the junkyard. The outer case while in general good condition has a few scratches and the door in front is gone.
I opened it up to take a peek, inside is still very clean, looks brand new, with a big surprise... it has a Cyberstorm MK2 060 processor with 32Megs on board. There are no zorroboards, there is a SCSI HDD (Seagate, 1gb) and no CD drive. Obviously its getting a few upgrades now, namely a graphics card/scandoubler and network card.
I took a photo of the tower to my friend who originally owned it, expecting him to tell me "I remember that from somewhere!" only to get a reply that it was not his A4000. I told him I got it from TV Station 'A', which you told me you sold it to..... only to find out that he actually sold the A4000 (he now tells me it was a 4000D) to a DIFFERENT TV station (B) and it was all a mistake.
I think I've been very, very, very lucky
PS. No, I am not going to phone TV Station B to enquire about the 4000D
