Closed Amiga CD32 RF-Shield top plate

Hi.
Recently acquired Amiga cd32. the rf shield has been replaced with a cardboard and foil setup.
The Amiga CD32 works. just spins backwards etc.
But i would be a lot happier with a proper rf shield.

Hope someone can help.
Thank you

The RF shield isn't actually necessary.. it's there for FCC regulations... but it has a side effect that it will reduce airflow to cool the components.

I ditched the RF shield of my A1200 and it works fine without it.

Yes an A1200 will work fine, but there is evidence a CD32 will not.

BUMP

A top shield is needed on a CD32, when removed it can cause issues like the CD spindle motor going the opposite way, odd but true!

HI!

I have one £7 plus postage, you choice royal mail, UPS, myhermes...

Hi.

Yes i am interested.
Thank you very much.
I thought i was never going to get one
Use whatever postage is easier for you.
Can you send me your payment details and we can take it from there. sadly i can not pay until Friday the 7th of November "Payday".

PS.
I am wondering if you have the set of top and bottom, as i have not actually dismantled it yet, i do not know what condition of the bottom RF shield is in.
I bought it knowing about the cardboard/foil thing. the seller was honest.

Not a problem if you only have a top RF shield, as that is actually what i originally asked for.
i will still purchase the top if that is all you have.

obviously i expect a revised price if you have the set.

Once again thank you so much.
