game, to having 4 - 1 standard, 1 deluxe turntable, 1 star trek edition & 1 deluxe travel set)

Still here. I was up until 3am getting the Power Mac G5 I picked up working. I now remember why I dislike Macs so much, but for a few dollars I can't complain... except to say: Really? Come on, 12 years old OS's should not be that hard to find and install! The ghost of Jobs will haunt CrApple for a very long time.Quote:

Not so keen myself. I ordered the 'original' colour and ended up with something that looks whiter than any Amiga I've seen even when new.Quote:

Well, new to me! :D:D:D:D:D
My first Amiga was an A500 when I was about 16 i think ... and I always wanted an A4000. So DutchInUSA sorted me out!
http://i.imgur.com/5YyhfBsl.jpg
It has some issues with the chip ram slot, but I have some parts on order so hopefully I will be able to fix it. It gets all kinds of weird corruption, and won't do the HighGFX modes very well.
Already put a CF slot in the back, with a 16GB card that I prepared using my ACA500Plus A500 and it booted right up! So happy.
Have a quiet PSU on order, and have the ATX PSU kit from Amigakit ... its a noisy beast, haha.

Got given this from somebody I work with, don't know much about it apart from they were made in 1977.
That's kinda cool. Reminds me of my Telstar.Quote:

While I'm unhappy about not acquiring what might have been a great collection I am pleased about what was left behind.
One new in box IBM 5150 version 1 that is complete and unused. :woot:

Wow! That is amazing. We all get those lucky finds once in a while. Too bad they don't happen more often. :)
Heather
Thanks! This my second great find in 25 years. I hope I'm due for another one soon. Seeing the guys on YouTube in the states finding stuff like this in thrift stores and at garage/estate sales almost makes me want to move. :)Quote:

I missed all the pre-orders and I wasn't going to wait up until midnight last night to buy one so I'll get mine when it's more readily available. Of course, the scalpers are out in force to take advantage of Nintendo's notoriously poor system launch practices.
At least I received my copy of Zelda for the Wii U so I'll be able to play that this weekend! :thumbsup:
Heather
Jeez. had a quick look and yes they are, scalpers are out lol.
my lad is playing his now, its very nice, looks a lot smaller when docked than i thought.
I cancelled my switch as funds was short (my 7yr old boys birthday) ill be waiting for Zelda for my Wii-U so i'm still happy :D
- - - Updated - - -
and just watched one for the curiosity and it sold for the current selling price from the shops.
now that's justice :D -10% ebay fees + the Fees paypal take,, that scalper lost out...
ill be betting that seller will cancel the sale with a lame excuse like it was broken or lost hehe.
- - - Updated - - -
hehe I'm laughing to myself I've watch 5 different auctions finish and all where within £10 of shop price some a bit cheaper so it's 1 - 0 for the buyers atm :D
My lovely wife bought a A3000 for my collection. I'll fix the battery leakage when the item arrives.

Picked up a Rondo SX-series 5-string Fender Jazz Bass clone off Craigslist. This thing is insanely good for a $200 (list price!) Fender knockoff - great build quality, beautiful finish (for some reason, on their site they only show the ash-body version as available in clearcoat, but this one is a lovely dark sunburst,) and it plays and sounds great. Now one of these days I need to sit down and wire it up for stereo so I can get my Chris Squire on (or at least my Gary Strater...)

Attachment 119196
Sure, it's not a hand-built work of art like the Gibson version, but it's a damn fine instrument - sounds great and is just playable as hell - I could barely tear myself away from it to get ready for bed :) Getting it for a fraction of the list price with some upgrades by the previous owners didn't hurt either :D
Check out the condition on these gems :blink:

Thecorfiot kindly sent me some goodies. Pr0n!
repaired C64c board, I shorted the motherboard 5v when jamming my tapuino into the case (another story) and bas fixed it perfectly and tidied up the psudosid (knackered socket, even a broken pin!) and added pins to the tape edge connector. Nice one! OH and he recapped the board at the same time, what a star :)
and a justspeccy128 board! this has been quite the undertaking, i bought the boards a year ago and bas has spent a LOT of hours putting it together. His skill level necessary for this is far in excess of mine. His work is an art and underneath the soldering is barely believable. in an "awesome" way. I'll post some pics as i carve up a 48k rubber case to suit and paint.

I don't like Commodore that much (but the 264 row is great), and the C16 is really nothing special ... but i received a nearly untouched and unused one (with a 1531, some games, manuals and cables). I can't find any wear marks or something else. I bought it as "faulty", but it runs fine.

Had to go up to NE Calgary to go to ToysRUs to get a gift for my nephews 1st B/D, so I did a bit of a Thrift Shop run as well. also managed to get a toy for myself at ToysRUs too, they had some Star Wars stuff on clearance, and if you bought 2 clearance items, the cheaper one was 1/2 off, and conveniently the thing I intended to get him was clearanced as well (one of the Care Bears) so that worked out well.
