@JezC yes that’s definitely a good deal. I just wish I’d not sold all those big box Amigas I had about 15 years ago.

@PhilC I dont know if I ever told you...

It was ~2009, so quite a while back, but I was offered an Amiga 1000 with a Video toaster (apparently), monitor,software....for FREE!!

I try not to think about it too much. :lol:

@PhilC Maybe I should bring the two (faulty) Amigas with me on the 8th? One's an A500+ with battery damage (but can be persuaded to boot up & play at least one game) while the other is a vanilla A500 but doesn't boot...

Too true - lucky to get even one faulty ST for that sort of money nowadays...sniff.

@mrbombermillzy i had two A4000s, one 040 and rtg etc, the other an 060 pimped out to the max, then there’s the A3000s I had, when I see how much they go for now it’s depressing knowing how much I sold them for.

@JezC ive already got an A500+ and a rev 6 A500, then an A1200 with a TF1260, I never get round to using them these days but do bring them if you want to sell them on.

I was hoping to get some help in fixing at least one of them! :lol: :roll:

Jez @Steve repaired my battery damaged A500+ a while back. Did a lovely job.

Hes coming to the show. Maybe speak to him? :)

Sounds like a good idea - and in the distant past he (was) 'volunteered' to replace the RTC on my Falcon...but maybe it's best not to push my luck too far ;)

@JezC if Steve can’t do it then I probably can but won’t be able to get it done quickly.
