Very nice big boxed Pipemania!!. Just arrived.

kipper2k · 13 January 2014, 19:51

got myself a mint looking a500+ motherboard (Rev 8A ... does not have the RTC clock circuit populated and never had a battery installed so i am assuming it was sold as an A500 for whatever reason (all the chips are of an a500+ so i happy

edit, just checked and it only has 512k RAM so it looks like i got another little project to convert it to a full a500+ (minus clock circuit, not worried about that

After they made the 500+, they used the same MB in the 500 which they kept manufacturing for a little while. Nice find as most 500+s have battery damage today.. Should be simple to convert though - 4 RAM chips and one additional IC I think if you don't care about the RTC?

Ordered from Amigakit the following:

300w PSU for my A1200 to power a Blizzard PPC/060

Composite video lead for a C64 to my Philips 8833-II Monitor

Update for EasyNet (forgot to put my serial number in the order comments, DOH!)

New York Warriors, 1MB version.

Not preserved by SPS.

BarryB · 14 January 2014, 01:35

Did you really pay $26,50

It's still sealed, you really going to open it and dump it just for us

Retroplay · 14 January 2014, 06:58

Yup 26,50 and yes, it's still sealed.

It's going right into my KryoFlux for a "dump" as soon as it arrives.

I would never have thought the day would come when I'd actually be pleased to get my hands on another persons dump

What's the difference between the ACA 122O and ACA 1220?

I picked this up about three weeks ago but not had the chance to take some pictures until today, the main reason I bought it was for the two Zipstiks (my stick of choice back in the day) so anything else was a nice bonus.

#1 - The Amiga itself is in absolute mint condition, looks brand new, pure white and seal intact so will most probably need recapping but I've tested it and it's working great. Again the mouse (Commodore A0189203 marked on the bottom) apart from a small green pen mark which I'll clean off soon is in perfect condition and the Zipstiks are also in tip top working order.

#2 - Opened up the trapdoor expecting to find nothing but was surprised to see this MP604B 1MB Chip Ram expansion card.

#3 - A boxed Quickshot Maverick joystick also included:

#4 - External Sony FDD again in mint condition:

#5 - It came with a few boxed games (plus the usual multitude of loose floppy disks which I won't bother putting here as this post is long enough already):

#6 - Manuals/Various

It has the larger style power supply but you all know what those look like, the only missing item really is the outer box itself, I do have the bag and polystyrene blocks for the Amiga and the box for the PSU.

Really pleased with all that, mainly for the joysticks for my expanded A1200 but nice to have another classic Amiga in the collection.

That's a nice haul you got there, Mr Plow!

lesta_smsc · 20 January 2014, 22:51

Mr Plow, that's a very good example there. I wonder how it was stored to prevent yellowing?

Predseda · 23 January 2014, 10:19

Almost mint. For cca 4 Eur.
