Hello and welcome! :)

No. Way. Unbelievable.

I think ours is a local delivery gorilla... :lol:

Ah well, it could have been worse. I've seen some of the horror stories when lurking on forums. I suppose I should be grateful that I didn't need to sweep it up. :roll:

The board is okay but the case was damaged. Lucky-ish, I guess. I got home, saw the card and thought "err... they wouldn't have just dropped it over the fence onto concrete would they?" Well, yeah. They did. :double

Could you be a Hermes courier? <EXCERPT FROM HERMES COURIER APTITUDE TEST, OR PERHAPS JUST WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER OUTSIDE MY FRONT DOOR> You are a Hermes courier delivering a C64C in a small box. You arrive at the address and the intended recipient is not in. You look at the label on the box...

Aaahh - I can't believe I missed out on this! :blink: Please tell me it happens every year!

The retro collection as it stands: Sinclair ZX81 :) Sinclair ZX Spectrum 16k Issue One (rubber key) Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128k Issue 6U (toastrack) Amstrad ZX Spectrum +3 Issue 2 (plus DivIDE and other goodies) Commodore C64C, 1541-II x2 BBC B (in need of TLC) <DISTINCT LACK OF AMIGA - NEED TO...

Thanks for the info. I shall pass this time, although I doubt you will have a problem selling this machine. Best of luck with the sale. :)

Nice machine - are the black marks near the ventilation grilles marker pen or something? Do you think they would come off with a clean / quick wipe with IPA or similar?

Also interested - second in line? Would I be able to use my C64C's power supply with a VIC-20? Thanks! :)

Thanks, guys - have been having fun looking at what comes up in the 'for sale' section! So... much... temptation... :lol:

Hello everyone! :) After resurrecting my old toastrack Spectrum and C64 I am looking forward to getting hold of an Amiga again. I work as a research fellow in optoelectronics, so after a day with hugely temperamental experimental tech, it's nice to tinker with the 'old iron' when I get back...
