Here is an Apple IIGS using a Macintosh-HD15 adapter on the RGB port and a Dell P1917Sf (the f is important for 15Khz support) monitor, not perfect but surprisingly good. I have had no joy with old LCD TVs, as above they were bad when they came out and have only got worse with age.

As with anything that has been purchased and not delivered, talk to your credit card company/bank/whatever.

Amiga 1010 floppy drive, in good condition and full working order. Drive mechanism is a Chinon FB354 from an A500 with the LED attached rather than the original. £100 plus postage.

Spirit Inboard 1000 for sale for Amiga 1000 with 512K installed- up to 1.5MB can be populated. This was tested and working on my PAL A1000 a few months ago. I had problems getting this board to fit properly in my A1000 after replacing the stock Panasonic floppy drive with a Chinon from an A500...

Payment received, collection arranged.

No shipping anywhere, sorry.

Amiga 1000 PAL version with daughterboard. This machine has had extensive cosmetic restoration - all external ports have been replaced due to corrosion and the PSU and metal shielding have been stripped and painted due to rust. PSU has been recapped as a precaution. It's in good if a bit...

I have had really good luck with the vapour method recently as seen in this video: A500 cases are easy to come by so not too much issue if other methods go wrong but the above seems to have no chance of marbling etc. You do need warm/sunny days for it to work well whereas the cream will work...

1984 UK model Macintosh 128k, in generally good condition (but read ad fully), apparently unmodified with original UK layout keyboard and "square plug" mouse. Tested and working booting from floppy. Also comes with "The Macintosh Story" VHS which I haven't tested. Bad bits: Some corrosion in...

Also interested to see what you find - as above I have found that an A500 or A2000 suffers far less from this issue than 1200s do, using a CBM adapter. I tried one of the filtering adapters which removed the lines but just made everything horribly blurry.

This is standard behaviour when using A1200s on 15Khz capable Dell monitors via one of those adapters in my experience. You can try adjusting clock/phase to see if it improves but I have never managed to completely solve it.

In case you haven’t already seen it, you can use a Chinon FB-354 as found in A500s and solder some wires and a resistor to the PCB for the LED. The downsides I found to this are 1. Things like the Spirit RAM expansions no longer fit due to the Chinon drives being longer than the originals, and...

What happens when you take the Buddha out and try to boot from floppy? Does the drive click/seek when empty and if so does the screen go blank when a disk is inserted?

Bumping this - I need a floppy drive that will fit as per the original A1000 drives, the Chinon FB-354 I currently have is too long to accommodate the ram expansion I have.
