Well, the neoclassical spinet legs are kinda silly, I'll grant you, and the bulk of the thing would be a problem for gigging, but nicely-finished wood is just the classy material for instruments, and I'll brook no dissent on that. I mean, look at the Minimoog!Quote:

Oh, absolutely. It was one crazy revelation when I nabbed a copy of Tarkus from the thrift store (my attention caught by the totally sweet cover) and heard ELP for the first time...
I saw ELP "glued" to the grid. Was 1997 or something around. One of the best shows I ever saw in my life, including U2 360, Waters The Wall and Ian Anderson's Thick As A Brick! :nod:
Lucky *******!
Found a dirty old Commodore Mouse at the thrift today! Its my first one, but did I get a 1351 or an Amiga mouse?
The bottom reads "A90702898"
Thanks Bryce and Badstarr for the BBC Master, and Collz69 for the PS1. They all arrived by courier at 8pm tonight (I guess he lives local as that's the second lot he's dropped off in the evening). I think that's the rest of my week taken care of playing with my new toys :thumbsup:

Received a brand new (made in 2012) game for my Colecovision today. It's even made in Holland! :)
Came today:

Don't have it yet, but I've pre-ordered the Zelda Wii-U Special Edition console. It arrives September 20 and comes with a download code for the Zelda WindWaker HD game. About the only thing I really wish was that it came with the actual disk instead of a download code.

The USB ports are a first for me on the Amiga, just need to wait till Jens gets round to completing the USB add-on but they do look cool :cool:

Got a few C64 Assembly and machine language books plus a 68-pin SCSI cable from Exilent today.
I also went and bought an XBox 360 Slim 250GB bundled with Angry Birds.
Received yesterday very dirty but probably working AT PSU 200Watt for my 386SX/33 MHz... Now it's drying and maybe i'll check it today.
I wanted to preorder that console, but can't really justify it as I already have a WiiU :'(Quote:

Yeah, I'm really happy I waited to pick one up. Between the price cut and the fact that I love Zelda games and a Zelda themed console, I decided it was the right time. Still, I would love to get the disc version of the game.Quote:

*EDIT* I also love that you can skydive in Skyward Sword! I even had to do a double take the first time I saw a skydiving formation go flying past me. :D

Yamaha DX7
I've had a module version of this synth (the TX7) for a while, because I love the sound of Yamaha FM - but I just never use it, because there's no on-board editing facilities, and setting up a MIDI connection from a master keyboard to a module is just so much less immediate and hands-on than sitting down with one of my keyboard synths. So I've been keeping an eye out, and one turned up on Craigslist for a pretty good price (I got the keyboard, a soft case, a stand, both factory ROM cartridges, and the switch and swell pedals for a good deal less than I've seen bare units go for elsewhere!) There's minor cosmetic damage and it was dustier'n hell, but it's otherwise in good shape, and it works and sounds great :) What a classic!
Hmm, I pre ordered 2 of them also at Vesalia.Quote:

@commodorejohn: A legendary synth nevertheless! You'd be quite busy testing various editor-librarians for it too. I think there was one Amiga-based also. (or a few):

I'm just wondering how big johns house is :)
Yeah, it's a classic for a reason :) I've got a fairly decent one for PC, but I'll take a look at the Amiga options while I'm at it...Quote:

I agree though, the controls work great, but I still think they'd play better on a regular controller.
Want to preorder the 3ds one, just waiting to see if there are any preorder bonuses anywhere first though :-)

On Thursday, I picked up a very nice c64c night moves pack.
Awesome condition and virtually complete (missing Shadow warriors tape and a second cheeteah joystick.).

nice mate
Omg omg omg, I have the most awesome wife ever!
She just bagged me 2x good condition a500's, a heap of software, 2x external fdd's, several joysticks and something I've been after for ages..... A 1084s-p for what we in Aus normally pay for just the 1084s-p by itself! :)
o_O
You take good care of her, man. She deserves it :lol:
I would be shot on sight if I did that... ;)Quote:

The gameboy Programmer boards (that no one ordered from here) have finally arrived from China! I put many many hours into these and am more than satisfied with iTead studios.

I also got some calipers:

It coincided with the arrival of a MD2 PSU that I had found locally. Still waiting for RGB cable and pad to arrive.
Not new, but Bryce recapped my Gamegear and modified the HxC for my Atari STf :thumbsup:

Glad it arrived safe, enjoy :thumbsup:Quote:
