After my finding out my VIC-20 was dead last weekend, I though nothing could cheer me up, then I got a call today to see if I wanted some Amiga stuff. I went help pick it all up and I still have 3 more boxes to go, but I though I would share a sneak peek at what today brought.
First we have an A4000 Desktop: the unit (supposedly) has a cybervision 64 card and a (an) Warp Engine '040. I have yet to open it and inspect it.
Second we have a 1764 Monitor (sorry for the bad camera phone pictures)
Next I just opened one of the boxes and we have a bunch of boxed games. Now I have over 1000 floppy disk of copied games, but very few (like 4) boxed games.
I still have a few more boxes to go with a few keyboards, Midi connections, I even have an "Opal Vision card"
I even was suppose to have a Ariadne II network card, I have the box etc for that, but it was "Borrowed" and I probably will never see it back.
excellent find there Quarkx! I hope to someday hit the motherlode like that as well...
Next weekend will prove interesting also, I got a call from a Widower, just wanting to get rid of boxes of Amiga magazines. She then saw my site and then also offered her late husband's Amiga too. Apparently, he was big into Video Editing and Animation. I did not get too many details (i didn't want to sound like a Vulture), she offered to drop it all of next weekend, so we will see what that brings.Quote:

I will take more pictures of the other boxes, its going to take while to inventory all this stuff, and meanwhile my apartment looks like a warehouse again..
Some (free) advice Nathaniel - put an wanted ad on Kijji. Its free, and you never know what you will get. I have had my Amiga ad on there almost 3 years now, and yes it does get burried awful quickly, but every once and a while it does pay off.

Ok, last post before bed.
I opened the A4000 up, good news and bad news.
There is a Cybervision card, and a GVP I/O extender card and it looks like the Warp engine is there.
Bad news, the previous owner replaced the battery with a Radioshack phone battery and that has leaked. I snipped it off, but it looks like a bit of cleaning for the motherboard. lots of green pins to be seen.
The whole machine needs a good clean up from what I can see, but the photos aren't that good.Quote:

You can use tweezers to get the green gunk off.
Clean it all up and dry it (tissues, hairdrier) and the do a second run with alcohol, dry it again.
I agree, As much as I hate to do it, I will have to strip baby down and start from scratch. It has such a odd jumble of IDE and SCSI drive on it, I will have to get rid of all the SCSI elements anyways, but the CD-ROMS and such will be used in my A3000T as I can't afford to rid myself of SCSI it that unit.Quote:

The Monitor is the bigger challenge though, I wish there was someone local, who would go through and refurbish this rare beast. Strip it right down and rebuild it from the ground up. I know the previous owner ordered it right from Amiga Technologies in Germany, so there can't be too many floating around Canada
If you get stuck let me know and I will have a lookie in my manual :)Quote:
