Wanted: Amiga 1200 Spacebar

Tempest 2084 · 30 April 2009, 19:33

Does anyone have a spare spacebar for an Amiga 1200 for sale or trade? My poor spacebar has some cig burns from the previous owner (savage!) and I'd like to replace it. I got my hands on an old Amiga 500 keyboard but the spacebar is different (slightly shorter) and I couldn't use it (although I was able to swap out the damaged Amiga key).

I could see if my GF can take the one out of my spare keyboard.
Shipping would be from NY so awesome...
Offer me a treat and we're done

Sweet. Send me a PM and we'll talk.

hang on a minute. The first thing you should do is sort out the previous owner for GBH on an Amiga. I'm thinking of a suitable punishment at the moment. Not ruled out the stocks and rotten veg yet... that seems too lenient.

@Paul_s

We could burn him with cigarettes?

I've got to admit that I was a bit disgusted that someone could do that to their computer. Then again, you should see the burns on some arcade games where the control panel looks like someone used it for an ashtray. Oh well, I got a great deal on the system and it came with a great accelerator (Cobra).

The Left Amiga key and spacebar got the worst of it (the Amiga key was almost a burnt blob) but there's at least one spot on the case (just above the - key) that got burnt as well. The case burn isn't really noticeable (it looks like an indent really), but the spacebar one is bad because you feel it every time you hit the key.
