Finally got the Amiga CD32, New in box.

[som99]

Been after a nice looking Amiga CD32 for quite some time, and out of nowhere a local retro gaming store put up two new never used ones on buy now price for only $173 (USD) on the Swedish ebay!

A steal in my neck of the world!

Strangely enough either of them had a PSU, where they in a seperate box or something?
I had 4 pin DIN connectors and a spare black A1200 HD PSU so making one was a breeze and black PSU looks good to a black system
Some might think I am stupid for using a A1200 black PSU but I got spares and I can restore it with original connector if needed

Boot's up great, no video/audio problems what so ever, might re-cap it just because when I got time.

No problems reading CD-R's, tried a few different brands without issues.

So I'm happy that I finally got one and here are some pics for the people who like to see ^^

The box:




The box opened, the cat liked the smell of vintage hardware


Most of the content:


The sweet machine, protective films on and everything



Controller and stuffs, the Dpad is adhesive I guess and not on the controller when new.


Donor PSU.



And the new connector on:


Last pic, some random games I tried:


That's about it, happy owner of a CD32 and in this condition it's even more fun
Was going to buy both but decided to let someone else get the other one, no reason to hoard better let someone else be happy with it

Now time to build spare CD32 controllers

Which retro gaming store was that?

[som99]

@danwood - Thanks! I will surely have a lot of fun with it, probably the first time in some years I found a boxed new one for sale here in Sweden for a good price Of the systems I am missing in my collection this one was the one I wanted the most (consoles that is)

@Yasu - It was Retrospelbutiken and they still got the one I didn't buy left, so if you want one buy it before someone else does! PM if you can't find it and need a direct link

They do from time to time sell stuff for decent prices and I have bought quite a lot from them over the years

Edit: Just saw they have gotten 4x new ones for sale now! Great news for people wanting a mint CD32 Would be fun knowing where they got em!

Edit: 3x left.

The PSU should be in the same box as the system, I've never seen it packed separately.
If its not there, it was removed at some point.

Yeah, my guess is they where UK plugs or something, why they are gone I do not know, nothing else in the box is touched so strange but since the CD32 uses commonly avaliable 4-pin DIN's there ain't much trouble setting up a PSU for it

The original CD32 PSU uses the same moulds as the C64 "Brick" PSU but black, I could take out the internals of a C64 PSU and hack together a supply for CD32 and paint it black, but I am happy enough with a black A1200 HD PSU

Yes, it is a tribal thing.

Haha if so poor cat

Yeah I'm really happy about it! Nice one you got there, aslo new I see, may I ask what you payed for it? Did you get a PSU or without?

Would be nice to know some stories where the new ones where found

I still have my old CD32 that I got in the 90's. After picking it up, I spent the whole day home from school - a sudden and serious case of the sniffles - playing Oscar, Diggers, and Alien Breed: Tower Assault. Good times!

Oooh, store in Varberg! If my wife wouldn't have killed me on the spot for buying new stuff a month before moving, I'd be on the Øresund train right now to go get one.
