A few days ago, my good friend learned of an elderly relative who had sadly passed. When clearing out said relative's possessions, he came across the Speccy below. Not having much idea what to do with it, but knowing I was a collector of such things, he asked me to appraise it for him. Aside from needing a new keyboard membrane, everything apparently worked! Well actually I've not tested the printer interface, I've no printer or much interest in that. He asked me whether I'd be willing to replace the keyboard membrane for him (you may have already seen my thread about this over in services) and complete any other repairs I come across. In exchange for this, he said I could half of whatever I can sell the finished thing for. "Think of it as a project" he said. So, despite never having done one before, I said I'd give the membrane a go, warning him of my lack of experience in this regard. Amazingly, I didn't break anything and it all worked. As one of the faulty keys was Enter, I'd not been able to test the function of the thing until this point. A bit of research later, I was using an app called PlayZX on my tablet to emulate a tape player and we were off. Horace goes Skiing, Outrun, Spy Hunter... It's been so long since I had a working Speccy... Yeah. Well, I found him a buyer. It was me. And he let me have it on the original terms, so half the going rate. I was delighted. I even managed to pick up what appears to be an unused cassette player on the other bay for next-to-nothing (the box looks very used, but the player itself still has stickers and whatnot on it.) Inspired by djcook and thecorfiot, I even did the RF mod myself with my shiny new soldering iron setup. I've been having a blast... Anyway, here it is!

PS if anyone wants a ZXL Print III by Euroelectronics, complete with Centronics cable (I think that's what they're called, been a while!) let me know. I'd be happy to trade it for "something interesting," whatever you may have...

nice catch, indeed!
i see You have a Joystick interface with cartridge port, did You got any carts for it? If not - check my offers, i have home made 10 in 1 reprogrammable cartridges for cheap money

This isn't really new, I just thought I'd share it. Cabinet from Ikea, signs from Fleabay, consoles from god-only-knows. I put the thing together myself rather crudely, but it works and I'm rather proud of it :)

Attachment 132264Attachment 132265

...not so proud of the photography, it's hard to capture the lights AND the look at the same time, if that makes sense.

Looks good to me.:thumbsup:

About thirty years ago I lent my entire Amiga disk collection to a "friend" who promptly had a major issue with his A500 and decided to smash it. Apparently my disks also needed to be sacrificed to make his point and he threw them out with his now-in-pieces A500.
It's been that long since I had a set of original A1000 system disks. I finally have another. :bounceBoingBall:

I also just picked up an AlphaServer from a local recycler who stated it did not boot. Luckily I know that both a keyboard and mouse need to be attached in order to boot. I always wanted an alpha machine to play with and while Win 2000 RC2 for Alpha is a buggy pile of junk it at least installs and runs without the licence paks needed for OpenVMS.

(no cases for Twilight Imperium, and Walmart isn't cheap on plastics for some reason, anyways)

This weekend, I took a trip to my local Maplin hoping for some liquidation bargains. Sadly, they are just carrying on regardless (even telling customers that they have no plans to close any stores) so there's no fire sale or weird old stocked pulled out from dusty corners, just another day.

However, I did pick up a few bits:

Attachment 132676

The question now... What to do with it? I thought about making a digital tape player, but then I found I can buy them for less than £20. Maybe an emulation station. Any suggestions?

They've just started the liquidation process. It's be a few months or even a year before they start selling of stock cheaply.

Bryce.

no doubt they'll do what Target did here, and what most places will likely do now, announce 'liquidation', 10-20% of first month, 15-30% second month, 20-40% third month, 30-50% fourth month...then blow out whatever else is left ...

well been a while since I posted on this thread but Hey Got my Sam460 today loving getting back to full speed OS4.1

Nice setup :)

I always wanted one of the newer Amigas, but the price and lack of apps and slow speed of the systems keeps me away from them. Looks nice.

Oh and I got a copy of They Live on laser disc the other day.

I saved this little fella from a facebook group, don't know if it works yet :unsure:

Nice work both. I had no idea about the Dizzy game being made.. I assume that's an NES cart?

I got my Gotek the other day, no need for pic though, everyone's seen them! And I wouldn't want to show off the job I did of mounting it! I have got a nicer mount coming though at some point.

I got my Gotek the other day, no need for pic though, everyone's seen them! And I wouldn't want to show off the job I did of mounting it! I have got a nicer mount coming though at some point.

Cheers, yeah there's been a few Kickstarters now. I'm trying to get Wonderland Dizzy too but eBay sellers' taking the mick as usual. I missed the KS's

Pretty cool. I'm a backer on the Joejam and Earl remake kickstarter. That should be ready soon, I'm pretty excited about that, if not just for the music!

This is my first Amiga, bought last month. Allegedly it was broken, but I've added in that floppy drive and it's been running great. I just need some more software and a hdd now.

Alpha server from a recylcler? You probably got a real bargain there.

We still use these at work. Without giving too much away we make some rather large and expensive equipment consisting of multiple computers, and on the older versions this was all co-ordinated on open VMS alpha servers. We're finally moving it all over to windows pcs but most of our pre-existing products (up to as late as 2014 or so) are still running on alphas. It's part of my job to maintain a portion of the alpha software, which is all in HP Fortran. As for using it, I actually kind of like VMS. Having it automatically keep all versions of a file for me is handy indeed.

I say you probably got a bargain because I'm told they cause us a lot of problems now because they are getting hard to find and expensive. We stockpiled when HP discontinued, but have pretty much exhausted that supply now and I'm pretty sure the guys who do the installation have to hunt ebay for refurbished ones when one dies in the hands of a customer.

I wasn't aware you had to have a keyboard and mouse plugged in. Ours just sit in racks and seem to lack both.

Nice A2000. I just got mine finally up and running properly.

I had heard about not being able to post without a keyboard years ago, so I took a chance and once I plugged one in the machine happily posted and now I have Tru64 installed and it works just fine. I too am of the mind it was a great deal.

If your company has many of these, do you think they'd be willing to sell me the bezel for the DAT drive? :D

It's taken awhile, however I finally have a clean and functional SGI workstation. This machine started as a dirt filled metal box with no case or drives. All I have left to do is install the OS.

Went to pick up an Apple Duo Drive from a local seller and ended up taking a few more things off his hands.

Attachment 136391 Attachment 136392

I also ended up buying an Atari 400 from him. It turns out he's a collector who's selling off what he has. I wish I'd had some extra money because he has a very nice and very upgraded A2000.

Thrift/Dollar store time again, plus RuneRider was going out to get a few more things from the guy he got stuff from the other day, so I tagged along and picked up a few bits...

I'm a bit jealous of the Icontroller. I've been wanting one of those for a while. :)

I'm sure you have more stuff than me and I feel like I need a bigger house. Can't imagine an apartment!

Heather

There aren't a lot of controllers/joysticks on my list to add to my collection, but this was one of them...

I also want to track down 2x (or more for that matter) Atari gamepads (the NES style ones that Atari put out late in the A2600 era), 2x proper 7800 sticks (my 7800 didn't come with any) and a 1351 mouse...

I need a bigger place, but being single I can't qualify for a subsidized 2-bed and can't afford one on my own...I will have to get into my storeroom this summer and see what I can just get rid of...

I've got this cd32 with an arcade jamma mod. It is a modification back from 1995 from a Italian company called C.D Exrpess. As you can see it is a cd32 with a jamma pcb. So it plays the games that C.D. Express made using the cd32 hardware. I have a game for this and it is a puzzle, not many games made for this. Pretty hard to find one of these, although machine works flawlessly.

well, it must be about time for another thrift shop/dollar store post...another reasonably good 'Star Wars' haul, from both the ThShops and Dollar stores... (seems like there's a glut of SW toys about 6mo to a year after every movie...been quite a bit of Rogue One and Last Jedi stuff recently, should be a bunch of Solo stuff in a few months...)
