I did good in the local bootsale, was alot there and had to miss out of a few things I really wanted but heres what I managed to get form one couple;
- Amiga 600 with 1Mb expansion! :o
- 1541 Disk Drive :D
- A selection of loose disks
- Couple of 5 1/4in disk games
Also 2 days before I got a selection of boxed Amiga games from a store that was moving elsewhere and downsizing. :thumbsup:
Might do some pics later if it interests anyone.
Well this is the 'photo booth' :pQuote:

Very true, il take some in a moment. :) Was totally unexpected but sadly I had to turn down on a boxed Megadrive and a few PS1 games but it was worth it. Sods law that everything you want is all on one Sunday. :roll:Quote:

No signs of dodgy caps and it generally looks in good order cosmetically as does the floppy drive. Handy I bought several games recently since I can try them out. Not sure what I will do with the beat up 600.
Oh and I forgot I got an Action Replay III with the lot too. :cool:

The Loot!:

Do ignore all the mess on the back of the table near the wall, the lot consists of some games and the rest as above. :)
That is an amazing find at a car boot :thumbsup:
Looks very tidy and non yellowed :)
My car boots are rubbish, only thing I've found in the last 5 years was a SNES style amiga controller. :dry:
It had been rubbish for some time here too, i'd say only good finds happen about once a year now (not normally this good mind) rather then several finds a year as it used to be before. I did hear through the grapevine that the Gt. Yarmouth one is closed down so they could have fled to my local which could be why I saw alot more cool stuff then normal. Still, I think eBay is much to blame and people seem to be getting an idea how much these things are worth these days.
As for the 600, it's a bit yellower near the front part of the machine but the rest is neat. No rusty R/F's and only 1 chip is broken and even that is only the far right one and since they are in pairs it makes no difference. :) I was planning on refurbishing my beat up 600 but this seems almost perfect with a little retr0bright and a 630 hopefully someday (will be my no.1 big purchase when the new job gets going)...
Got this one for free today :shhh:
Palm M505 with docking and charger. Looks well cared for and the battery seems to hold up very nicely.
Nice! I've got the m505 as well. I also have an external fold-up keyboard for it. :) What a flash from the past.

Thanks Heather....for making me think about buying yet another thingy this month :lol:Quote:

PIC programmer for some of the slightly newer chips. I used to use a homebrew 16F84 programmer on my A4000, but now want to start playing with something that has a few more pins, and which can be programmed from the PC.
I'm about to embark on some projects that will act as CD32 controllers, and a PIC16F88X with a software implementation of the shift register is, amazingly, both more cost-effective and simpler to use wiring-wise than the discrete logic used in the original pads!
@robinsonb5 . . . I have one of those programmers, used it to create pics for my switchless region mod on both the megadrive and SNES :thumbsup: Good bit of kit.
