Need a Home for my Old 1200 ( tower)

[ceedy]

I'm having to reduce my Amiga Horde..

This the largest so its goes first..

Its my First Amiga 1200 , I fitted this in a PC ( beigy type) Case about 2 months after i got the 1200 , long before any others were available .
As it was all a bit guesswork, I tried to keep the motherboard fairly clean , hence the masses of cables inside, taking ports to the rear.
Also I didn't want a very tall tower so the board is in longways. there's still room for a Accelerator in the front, I had a Blizzard 1230 in there.

And the PCMCIA sticks out the back.

The Keyboard is A500's innards fitted in a home brew case ( made from a 1200 top bit and a chopped IBM bottom bit.
The Din socket is wired into the main board with the encoder disabled, so as to use the A500's encoder.

In theres an old HD with Wb3.1 on it ...probably not vast in size ( can't see the label
without taking it apart .
If I can find the homebrew Video lead I'll run it all up to whats going on.

Other than that its all a bit bit primitive in the wiring, I used anything I could find at the time ,
But must be ok its lasted almost 20 years ,

The keyboard is a bit yellowy, the photo makes it look good !!

Its just been sitting on the end of my long computer table for all that time .. rarely fired up. well not in the lifetime of my 1st grandson & he's 10 today

Also got a Philips Colour Monitor if anyone is interested in it ??

Linky to the piccys showing it in all its glory

So its will need at least a good vacuuming out and a bit of a fiddle ..

Any takers? looking for about £40-50 give or take a bit. plus something for the monitor ??

A bit large, but no impossible to post I suppose ? can get a courier for the UK for under a tenner..
