I recently picked up a used Amstrad CPC 464 at a flee market, and since I'm not really into Amstrad I figured I would pass it on to someone who is ;-)
The unit seems to be the "older" version with the longer pcb and to my untrained eye it seems completely stock/original.
Functionality
As suggested by Bryce (thank you) I found an old 5V/2.5A cisco PSU that I had laying around and connected it to the Amstrad it seemed like a perfect match.
When I turn on the power the light comes on, and when I keep "DEL" pressed down it makes a sound - as far as I can tell the unit is working.
I don't have any Amstrad specific cables/items so I'm not able to do any more detailed testing (ideas are welcome).
Cosmetically
The unit is in good physical condition (although a bit dusty/dirty) except for a scratch just above the logo, I imagine it will be easy to cover the scratch using a pen.
Shipping
The unit will be shipped with insurance and tracking. Pickup & inspection are also available in Denmark.
Kindly allow a few days for shipping.
Price
Asking price is 40 GBP or equivalent in another currency + shipping costs for the Amstrad alone.
+5 GBP (45total) and I will include the Cisco 5v PSU
Paypal is the preferred mode of payment - gift-option sounds like the simplest but am open to alternatives assuming the buyer pays any costs associated.
