Post here everytime you get something new!

Not as extensive as the list above, but I did just buy a genuinely brand new, old stock ZX Spectrum +2a today:

d221a359-1f57-437a-9794-41e629d16831.jpg

Got fed up waiting for my Spectrum Next, so went for original(ish) hardware!
 
haven't been out much in the past few weeks, and it's nearly a week till payday... but I did grab a couple of 10TB external drives from BestBuy.ca ('Black Friday in July' sale, or somesuch), for a good price to upgrade my media server (the 4K Roku stick I got for Christmas has proven very handy)... and another Funko from the 'Dollar' store...

2x Seagate 10TB USB3.0 Backup Plus Hub Drives

Funko Pop! Star Wars Chewbacca (Solo) vinyl bobble-head

Drives_s.jpg

(let me tell ya, 8TB -> 10Tb, 6TB -> 10TB, 4TB - 8TB, 4TB -> 6TB takes a looooong time to copy on external drives... I believe the 8s and 10s are all SMR, which seem quite a bit slower, particularly as the drive fills up, as sectors/tracks get re-written often...)
 
this weeks (well, months... trying to trim it down a bit...) thrift shop stuff...

picked up a 2nd Amiga A1200, as my first one (bought 3 years ago) stopped working properly, added the ssd i had in that machine

picked up more parts:
-amiga rgb to scart
-scart to hdmi convertor (works like a charm!)
-kickstart 3.1.4 roms plus AmigaOS 3.1.4
-Gotek floppy emulator

now trying to get Easynet to work, but i guess it's not living up to it's name
 
a few thrift shop bits while out Christmas shopping (family is away for Christmas and not back until end of January, so I think I'll probably wait and take advantage of Boxing Week sales for the bulk of my gifts...) nothing much of spectacular interest, but it seems like a bit of a lull in my luck (and I suspect people are a: giving less good stuff to the shops lately, and b: with the economy in decline, shopping in them more often) after those good Avalon Hill finds a month and a half ago. (which are the kinds of things I really like to find, vintage-y games and video game stuff, and toys from my childhood...and of course Star Wars stuff..) couple of 'dollar store' toys as well...

I'm picking this Apple II+ clone up today. Nothing like beginning the new year with a cool project. I believe the NEC JB-1275MA Display is actually quite rare.

well, literally nothing for Christmas (though I did receive some VISA gift cards, and cash, so that's alright), family was all away this year, and I didn't feel like traveling, so I declined a trip to BC, and there weren't very many great deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday really (there's actually been some sales throughout the year that have been nearly as good anyways..) save for some great deals on 55"+ TVs (a few 70-75s in the $800-1000 area) but I have a 55", maybe get a 65"-70" next year, though.... but I did get a few gaming items, that were unexpectedly on sale...

My Amiga 3000 Haul

My Amiga 3000 Haul

Last week I bought this Amiga 3000 on eBay for <Snip>. I managed to spot it literally seconds after it was listed so I bought it immediately. It just arrived a few days ago and came complete with the original keyboard, pregnant mouse, a spare tank mouse, and as an added bonus it also has an A2386SX bridge board and Ethernet board too! It's also the less common 16MHz variant which is neat. The power supply was dead but that was easy to fix by replacing a pair of shorted HV switching transistors and a blown fuse. After that the system booted right up and still works just fine. :D

Here's the sole eBay listing picture...

IMG_6458.jpg

There is unfortunately some battery damage to the motherboard and also a leaking VARTA on the bridge board too, but I'll get those cleaned and fixed up in no time. It's certainly won't be the worse battery damaged A3000 I've had to repair...

For <Snip> I think this was one of the best A3000 deals I've seen in a long time, perhaps ever. Especially considering I got it on eBay!
