I am breaking an Amstrad PC1640 down for parts. The casing on mine got heavily damaged in transit, so I have decided to sell the parts in the hope of recouping some of my losses, and to get some other Amstrads back up and running.
All pictures are at the bottom to keep this blurb clear. Parts may work with other PCs. Prices are without post and packing.
1) PC1640 Motherboard. Tested as far as power on and running a few simple apps. Has all the required power and floppy cables still attached. £10 £8
2) PC1640 Keyboard and bus mouse. Both tested. Keyboard is yellow.£8 £6 No longer available
3) Tandon RLL or MFM (I think) hard drive, with 8 bit drive controller. Drive works, but as expected for the age the motor is a bit noisy... I have heard much worse though! There is also the PC1640 caddy should it be required £15 £10. I believe it's 20mb.
4) 5.25" floppy drive. I assume this is a 360kb drive. I have no media to test this, but the light did come on when attempting to access the drive. Comes with Amstrad caddy if required. £8 £5 - SOLD
5) Amstrad PC-MD Monitor. Working with a nice clear picture. It is the power source of the Amstrad PC1640. £20 £15 No Longer Available
6) Side cover, speaker, screw set and top rear cover, £2 £1 each No Longer Available
Unfortunately, the rest of the plastic case and front facia are wrecked
I am, of course open to offers and will do deals if you take more than one item
This is the machine shown working.
