Faulty Apollo 1260 on ebay

Doc Mindie · 28 January 2009, 11:19

which I hope to win....

If I do, I'll set up a £ reward for a friendly soul who can "fix" the card. According to seller it's "only" a few tracks that's been damaged....

Anyways... pictures are here for any handyman to see if it's fixable

EDIT: Hope this is not against the rules, as I don't sell this item, I just want to know if anyone can help me _if_ I win that auction

I think you'll find there are already 20+ EAB users camping on that item ready to snipe bid in the last second.

I'd be amazed if it went for less than £130

he he, it draws some crowd it seems.

I posted a simular post yesterday doc ^^

I agree with Alex...a lot of interest is going to push this right up.

Whot!? You're crazy... Recent auctions:
£62 for faulty one
For fully working ones:
£150 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=200296296963
£116 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=150323038424

@Doc Mindie:

I can most likely fix it for you (I looked at the photos and it seems to be straight forward enough).
Be aware though: this card has a 2nd RAM socket, which means it's for non-desktop A1200s, so basically a towerized Amiga. One option is to take out the RAM socket, but I think it's probably not a good idea considering the bad solder job: removing it can cause more traces to break or to reveal problems with those traces. It's best left in there IMOH and just "patched".

Both are 1240 versions which need the CPU desoldering and a voltage regulator and a new ROM not to mention a 68060 cpu!! Also if they have the slower MACH130 chips then they are reported not to work as a 1260 at all!

This board needs (supposedly) a few patch solders to fix broken traces and voila.

OK, I missed the 060/1260 part. I'm not swimming in 060s ya know? ;-) That would indeed add some value, but even so I'd be surprised if it went over 130GBP. I guess we'll all wait and see. If not you and I, there are plenty of crazies out there!

@Doc Mindie:
Assuming you're in the UK/GB, then it's probably less expensive to send it to someone like Zetr0 for the fix.

LOL

Doc, have a read here m8

That's a LOL indeed! :-)

Doc Mindie · 29 January 2009, 09:46

Zet.... you got competition.. I REALLY need the card :P

alexh · 29 January 2009, 12:04

Who won? I had to go into a meeting

Zetr0 · 29 January 2009, 13:03

@Doc

lol my friend, I lost my interest in the card after £65.

once it goes for more than that I can buy a functioning 030 for not much more lol.

£95 for hinky non-working equipment (the card looks like its had an upgrade attempt btw *atleast in the second simm port* ) is perhaps a little to rich for my blood... besides imma saving up for my sports car(s)
