Post here everytime you get something new!

After a day of negotiating and a five hour round trip to a small town (with SaviorX along to keep me company) these two are the latest Amigas in my life.

A very nice pair of A2000HD systems! Both are now clean and functional with the (just barely) leaking batteries removed.

The one on the left is complete and boxed with the exception of the A2091, which is replaced by a GVP Impact 030 Combo RAM/SCSI/Accelerator card and also has an A2286 Bridge Board.
The one on the right has the A2091 and original HDD. They came with a large box of software/games, a Golden Image optical mouse w/pad and oddly also manuals for A2000s, A1000s and A500s.

I'll be looking for a new home for the non-boxed system and putting the other in my collection beside my Amiga 2000A.

Attachment 145861

Both SaviorX and I were sad to not have known about the Boxed Vectrex, Boxed Atari Jaguar and boxed TurboGrafx 16 (PC Engine) that the seller had which all came with many boxed games. At least the buyer of those was completely floored when he saw what I was picking up and drooled visibly over the Amigas. :bounceBoingBall:

While waiting for my presumably working A500, that I need for reference measurement to repair my other older A500...

...I happened to buy a A600, a really lovely little piece! :inlove:

I managed to snag a boxed A4000D-030 with an 040 card. Came with tonne of original boxed software some of which was never even opened!, also a bunch of cards like an Emplant with mac roms and manuals, Sunrise AD1012 soundcard with all of its original manuals, A4090, DBLScan video adaptor and an Opalvision. There are also a bunch ofther things like a JX scanner, genlocks, midi interfaces with smpte, video grabbers and leads. Weirdly there is a boxed copy of Populous for the Amiga 1500 (box says not for resale! commodore).

Sadly had to chuck a bunch of books as they were not savable, they were stored badly I assume, was a shame as those books were about video production etc, some even had the disks still sealed in them! going to have some fun cleaning those disks to image them. Oh and all of the boxed software have their keys etc (I think? need to work through it all).

Got the upgrades for my A600:

Furia ECO2 - 33MHHz + FPU 40MHz, 9.5 MB fast RAM
a604n 1 MB chip RAM + RTC
KS 3.X - 45.064 - Cloanto
CF to IDE adapter
Workbench 3.1 - Cloanto
CF to PCMCIA adapter
RGB to VGA adapter
RecCap set for A600
Benq BL912

I wasn't going to do a thrift shop trip this month (at least not until I got paid at the end, anyways), but i had a medical appointment in the NE, and of course in the same area that all the shops I go to are anyways, so I thought I'd have a wander around and just see if there was anything that was good... mistake... and demonstrates why I should just not leave the house any more...

41 Smurf figurines from the old 1960/70/80s sets... (a couple damaged, or Super Smurfs missing their accessories (7 actually), but the rest in mostly excellent condition - problem with the Super Smurfs is that the accessories are usually missing, and who knows if the thrift shop packaged (bagged) them separately...and until I know which SS there were, I'd have NO idea what accessories I am even looking for...)

(4.5)

a few things I ordered came in today all at the same time, usually never happens.... a couple games which were on a good sale price from BestBuy.ca, the rest of my Star Wars Minis figs (I noticed recently that I had really neglected Old and New Republic, Republic (especially non-main character Jedi), Separatists and Yuuzhan Vong (partly because I never got much into the non-Original Trilogy stuff, and really only got into the prequel trilogy after the newer movies came out, as well as a few main characters like Boba Fett and Jabba, because they are fairly expensive, considering they are small blobs of plastic...) and a new CPU for my existing machine.

credit card really taking a beating lately...

Gloomhaven was a game I've wanted for a while, but is both huge, and hugely expensive normally...

Games
Gloomhaven (Cephalofair, 2018 ) (this was 40% off, but came moderately crushed due to it's size and weigh, and well..postal......BB gave me another roughly 10% back)
Welcome To... (Blue Cocker, 2018 ) (both these came with free shipping... and Gloomhaven is... massive... 10kg/22lb by itself)

Star Wars Minis
Rebel Honor Guard (x2)(Rebel)
Evo Trooper (x2)(Empire)

Gungan Shieldbearer (x2)(Republic)
Galactic Alliance Trooper (x2)(New Republic)

Yuuzhan Vong Shaper (x2)
Yuuzhan Vong Jedi Hunter (x3)
Yuuzhan Vong Warrior (x4)

Dug Fringer (x2)

CPU
AMD FX-8350 4GHz 8-Core AM3+ CPU (Turbo@4.3GHz) (basically the fastest CPU (125W) my present board will take, should get another year out of the system, any further upgrade needs a new board and RAM as well)

(fortunately this also means an upgrade to my secondary machine as well from an AMD Athlon II X4 640 (3GHz, 4-Core), to the now replaced AMD FX-6300 (3.5/3.8Ghz, 6-Core))

And now.....the moment none of you has been waiting for....ah well, it eases my boredom and gets me out of the house... more thrift shop (and a few dollar store toys) randomness, plus a few new games...Star Wars: Outer Rim came out and I wanted to grab it...

Very nice. New-in Box is a rare and great find for any collector.

haven't been out much in the past few weeks, and it's nearly a week till payday... but I did grab a couple of 10TB external drives from BestBuy.ca ('Black Friday in July' sale, or somesuch), for a good price to upgrade my media server (the 4K Roku stick I got for Christmas has proven very handy)... and another Funko from the 'Dollar' store...

(let me tell ya, 8TB -> 10Tb, 6TB -> 10TB, 4TB - 8TB, 4TB -> 6TB takes a looooong time to copy on external drives... I believe the 8s and 10s are all SMR, which seem quite a bit slower, particularly as the drive fills up, as sectors/tracks get re-written often...)

this weeks (well, months... trying to trim it down a bit...) thrift shop stuff...

picked up a 2nd Amiga A1200, as my first one (bought 3 years ago) stopped working properly, added the ssd i had in that machine

picked up more parts:
-amiga rgb to scart
-scart to hdmi convertor (works like a charm!)
-kickstart 3.1.4 roms plus AmigaOS 3.1.4
-Gotek floppy emulator

now trying to get Easynet to work, but i guess it's not living up to it's name

a few thrift shop bits while out Christmas shopping (family is away for Christmas and not back until end of January, so I think I'll probably wait and take advantage of Boxing Week sales for the bulk of my gifts...) nothing much of spectacular interest, but it seems like a bit of a lull in my luck (and I suspect people are a: giving less good stuff to the shops lately, and b: with the economy in decline, shopping in them more often) after those good Avalon Hill finds a month and a half ago. (which are the kinds of things I really like to find, vintage-y games and video game stuff, and toys from my childhood...and of course Star Wars stuff..) couple of 'dollar store' toys as well...

well, literally nothing for Christmas (though I did receive some VISA gift cards, and cash, so that's alright), family was all away this year, and I didn't feel like traveling, so I declined a trip to BC, and there weren't very many great deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday really (there's actually been some sales throughout the year that have been nearly as good anyways..) save for some great deals on 55"+ TVs (a few 70-75s in the $800-1000 area) but I have a 55", maybe get a 65"-70" next year, though.... but I did get a few gaming items, that were unexpectedly on sale...

on the plus side, you probably wont have to put up with too much more of this from me, I am down to about 5MB of storage space left for photos :p

Last week I bought this Amiga 3000 on eBay for <Snip>. I managed to spot it literally seconds after it was listed so I bought it immediately. It just arrived a few days ago and came complete with the original keyboard, pregnant mouse, a spare tank mouse, and as an added bonus it also has an A2386SX bridge board and Ethernet board too! It's also the less common 16MHz variant which is neat. The power supply was dead but that was easy to fix by replacing a pair of shorted HV switching transistors and a blown fuse. After that the system booted right up and still works just fine. :D

Here's the sole eBay listing picture...

Attachment 153450

There is unfortunately some battery damage to the motherboard and also a leaking VARTA on the bridge board too, but I'll get those cleaned and fixed up in no time. It's certainly won't be the worse battery damaged A3000 I've had to repair...

For <Snip> I think this was one of the best A3000 deals I've seen in a long time, perhaps ever. Especially considering I got it on eBay!

Nice find. I hope to acquire one myself some day. We do this to atone for misdeeds in the past... or just for the fun of it. :banghead:

I'll be tormenting myself with a couple of Macintosh systems in a few weeks. Oh joy. :cool:

So, I got a headboard for my bed, came Tuesday... think I could find the bolts/washers/nuts that originally game with my bed frame... of course not, so I wound up having to go to Home Depot to get some, $7.00 round trip on the train now, for $4.63 worth of connecting hardware... so I decided to hit a couple of the thrift stores that are around there. also a new toy, procured for me by RuneRider, which was on my 'secondary' list of stuff to get if I ever come across it at a decent price, which it was.

Well, as you can imagine, not much in the way of Thrift-shopping recently (about a month and a half now), a few bits from my first week in BC, way back in March, they all shut down about 2/3s the way through my trip (when I left Calgary, cases were still low here and ZERO cases on Vancouver Island, first case came (via Egypt) when I'd been there nearly a week...), so I never got to do a second trip around the 6 shops in Duncan (and one other had closed altogether).

I wound up ordering a few things I'd been wanting off Ebay (looking to complete the Avalon Hill Bookcase series of games from the 70s-90s, but theres a looong way to go on that, not to mention the similar Victory Games and 3M series)

I picked these up with a large lot of about 70 original Amiga system/program disks. I now have full sets of system disks for 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 Beta, 1.2, 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.4, 2.0, 2.01, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.1, 3.0 & 3.1.
Does anyone know if these four are rare enough that they should be archived?

Attachment 157693 I also have Amiga Pascal.

Hello,

i like to see pictures of rare items.
Anyway i can only say, maybe on the first release of the Developer CD (back in the '96) there is mentioned of this disks.
I am not sure.

Stefano

Received this morning (June 19th 2020), the very latest 8mb RAM card from Amigastore.eu. Not available in-store at the time of posting this, but received as a free upgrade due to recent problems they had been having with chip suppliers.

Now comes with RTC and built-in wi-fi as standard.

Even came with a hand-written note from Maria in customer support - now that's a company I will be dealing with in the future!

Did a 12-hours round trip to pick up some goodies:

-Amiga 1000 with 1084S monitor, several mice, Amiga 1011 external drive, Amiga modem and roughly 1800 floppy disks.
-100% complete in box A500 early Rocklobster rev 3 board with "chickenlips" keyboard. Trapdoor 512k expansion, Matching serials on the box and computer.
-Upgraded Mac SE with 4mb RAM and 40mg HDD.

Attachment 158158

Check the battery on the 512K expansion if it has one, before it leaks and ruins your day.

First thing I checked. Luckily, the previous owner removed it.

This is my find this month:

https://imgur.com/a/RsEHfEB

386SX 20MHz, 2MB RAM, 43MB HDD 3600RPM, just got rid of MBR rootkit, which was more challenging in 2020 than I'd ever expect. The laptop has floppy drive, but out of 40 old floppies I found only 6 were usable and reliable ;)

Unfortunately it uses proprietary floppy connector, so using gotek was not an option. It uses same HDD connector like Amiga, so I tried to repurpose my old CF and adapter, but the actual problem was configuring HDD in bios for CF:

https://retrocomputing.stackexchange...117-r1-09-bios

I will be attempting to upgrade Ram to max 5MB the machine can take so time in the future:

https://retrocomputing.stackexchange...117-r1-09-bios

I was not able to find much information about this particular model, but I know there were at least 2 variants of 386:

https://retrocomputing.stackexchange...dore-c386sx-lt

My end goal for this machine is to run terminal emulator with Raspberry pi null modem inside, as there is enough space, so it will he used for SSHing into AWS if possible.

Unfortunately, the battery is completely dead, it takes some weird bulky pack, was jot able to find the cells, will try to build a circuits and replacement pack, if time allows.

Stay safe,

Bartek

Here's my new toy:

Very nice acquisition. I'll be receiving a similar lot in a week or two. You now have me wanting it sooner. :thumbsup:

This only going out once a month to do -something- really kind of sucks, been going out grocery shopping just to get out of the house... (I live right downtown Calgary, and there wasn't much for shopping where I am, and we just got a Real Canadian Superstore (one of the largest grocery chains here) 2 block from my house... literally been waiting 14 years for a half-decent grocery store...), but it was sort of thrift shop time again anyways (and a few other Dollar Store/Ebay things)
