    Retrocomputing with TV PHILIPS 15PFL4122

    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.

    Closed Spirit Inboard 1000 - RAM Expansion for Amiga 1000

    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.

    Sold Amiga 1000 PAL

    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...

    Amiga 500 - Retrobrite?

    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...

    Closed 1984 Macintosh 128K

    A1200 Rev1B - Weird vertical lines

    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.

    A1200 Rev1B - Weird vertical lines

    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.

    Wanted Amiga 1000 replacement floppy drive

    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...

    A3000 woes (continued)

    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?

    Wanted Panasonic JU-363-03 Floppy Drive

    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.
