A500 Plus

An A500 Plus for sale here for £20 + shipping.

Paypal only. Buyer to pay fees or send as gift payment.

It is the Amiga only and doesn't have a PSU, mouse or anything else.

It is in very good working order. The motherboard is in very nice condition. No corrosion to any of the ports or shielding, and very clean inside. It has the original battery still in place, but it looks like new with no leaking. It is recommended the buyer remove it and either leave it without RTC or replace it with a coin battery holder.

When i got this Amiga, for some reason it had a kickstart 1.3 rom fitted, which I've now replaced with a Kickstart 2.05 rom (v37.299) from an A600 I had spare. Fully tested booting into Workbench 2 and running a few games such as Xenon 2.

The case is a pretty good colour with hardly any yellowing, but the keyboard has yellowed a bit more, but it is about average for the age. Nothing a bit of retr0brite wouldn't fix it you wanted to restore it.

The only cosmetic thing is a small hole on the right of the case, covered by a sticky plastic circle. It looks like the previous owner had either been using a rom switcher with external switch, or it was for an on/off switch for a ram expansion.

Any questions please ask.

Pictures added.

Declearing interest. Postage to Australia please ?
How much chip ram ?
Agnus version ?

Enya.

It has the standard 1MB chip ram. I can also add a 1MB trapdoor ram expansion for an extra £20 which would take it up to 2MB chip ram if you wanted that.

It is a standard A500 Plus so has the 8375 (PAL) Fat Agnus supporting 2MB chip ram. I have tested the system with a 1MB trapdoor expansion and it shows as 2MB chip ram in Workbench, confirming this.

I will get you shipping costs to Australia. Might be expensive though from the UK.

second in line...a quote for posting to Greece?

Third in line.

OK guys, I have the postage quotes in for you... and they are not cheap. I hadn't realised an A500 weighs 3.5KG on its own before you even add some packing and a box, so I've allowed 3.8KG for the overall weight in the estimates.

Australia = £45
Greece = £26.50
Brazil = £63

So you can see they are all pretty expensive. Within the EU is obviously a lot cheaper, but I've listed the prices in order of members interested so please let me know if you are still interested or want to drop out.

For anyone else interested within the UK, postage via City Link would cost £7.

Pictures added. I've taken shots of the Amiga from all sides so you can see its overall condition. Other than the little hole you can see to the left of the floppy drive (which might actually be useful for a switch if you fancied modding the system in the future) it doesn't have any other defects, and the case colour, as I mentioned originally, is very nice.

I also took a picture of the underside label showing it was a Hong Kong made Amiga and what looks like a fairly low serial number too.

Thanks for the feedback!

Dropping interest.
Postage to high.

Enya.

Really expensive to post, but I'll decline for now. I'm negotiating another model. If I do not close business and A500 + is still here I come back to make an offer.
Thank you for your attention.
Ritcho.
