For sale: Amiga 4000 motherboard

chiark · 24 November 2008, 16:25

have an amiga 4000 motherboard that someone could probably use more than I am doing right now

. The good news is that it's working, the bad news is that there are some known faults. Rather than buying a useless lump off ebay with "sold as seen", at least you know exactly what you're getting here!

Known faults:
- Battery has leaked and been removed.
- RTC circuit is damaged as the RTC is not recognised.
- mouse connector seems to be strange - need to lift end of mouse connector up for mouse to work properly, suggesting a contact issue.
- sound capacitors have leaked. Not tested sound, but will do.

Good stuff:
+ board works.
+ CPU connector works
+ zorro connector work (can include daughtercard if you need it)

Supplied with 2MB of chip memory and kickstart 3.0. No processor card

I mailed Anthony Hoffman quite some time ago and he reckons he can fix all of this for a reasonable price, including postage!

Photos to be added tonight.

£90 + P&P

Will post anywhere on receipt of cleared UK funds.
Will accept Paypal payment from UK, USA and Canada only, and also from long standing well known community members elsewhere

Actually, 90 quid is a disgrace. I'm ashamed of myself.

50 quid + P&P sounds fairer.

What sort of price was the repair going to be?

The repair, for everything, was looking at around £50, but that is over a year ago so it will have moved upwards.

I suppose I ought to send it to Anthony and flog it as a perfect board...
...but as I've got another spare, I'd rather someone else had the use of it.
