Hello everyone. Ed gave these to me to do with as I wished. I tested them all, they power on, and using my Kickstart 1.1 disk they boot for a workbench disk. I cannot do more than that, as I unfortunately couldn't find the Keyboards for them. Most likely victims of the Commodore upgrade deal where you sent in your A1000 keyboard and they gave you a discount on an A2000.. But there are three separate machines and I will be selling them separate. Please see below for information on specific ones.
I am interested!
Below what I need to see?
Gimme!
The first one listed is in the worst shape cosmetically. The top appears to have been warped by extreme heat. Ed says he doesn't remember for certain, but it could be from a monitor that caught fire that was sitting atop this unit. Please take a look at the pictures below. It does have the 256K RAM upgrade with it. Considering the overall case condition. I was hoping to get 20 USD plus shipping. I will ship these internationally, but please be aware of the weight, they may not look heavy, but they weigh a good 15-16 pounds at least. Please note that this machine is missing the memory expansion cover door. I apologize for this, but I looked all over Ed's shop and couldn't find it. If I find it later while helping straighten up his shop, I will send it on to whomever wants this machine. The sidecar slot does have a cover, though.
Let me finish posting them ;). Second. This one is in slightly better shape, but it doesn't have the memory cover door, or a RAM expansion. The side car door does have the cover. All of these machines are dirty and need some serious cleaning done before they will look their best. I am hoping for Sold for this one as well, plus shipping. The case may be in better shape, but it doesn't have a memory expansion.
This A1000 is now Sold
The third one is the one in the best shape, but the case is the dirtiest, and will need a lot of work to clean. This one does include the 256K Memory upgrade, and I would have taken a picture of it, if I could have gotten the Memory cover off. This one doesn't have the side car cover though. The back of this unit is yellow yellow yellow, and needs a retrobrite bath. Asking price for this one is 35 USD or nice offer and shipping. Thank you for looking and waiting for me to finish posting all the separate A1000's. When posting interest, state which machine number, first, second, or third, and we will get everything organized. I appreciate everyone who takes the time and has a look. I hope to get these into homes that will love them, restore them and make them as elegant as they were when they first came to be. The lines on the A1000 still impress to this day, still a very beautiful machine, at least in my opinion.
Stripping the PSU out (leaving only the internal power cable) help in the weight?
If so, I'm interested on the #1 machine. I may find a suitable cover door later. An Amiga keyboard will not be an issue.
Hi, Nathaniel,
While I can't scrape together enough to cover the A2000 we were discussing before, I would like to declare interest in machine #1. I think I can put together $20 plus shipping.
I'll send a PM with shipping address to get shipping costs...
Thanks!
Edit: Since rkauer beat me to #1, I'd be willing to take #2 instead.
RKauer has expressed interest in #1 first followed by Brian. I can strip out the power supply as you ask RKauer, and that will definitely drop the weight, probably by 4-5 pounds. I will get an exact weight with and without and let you know. It will be later tonight, so check back tomorrow. I have to go off and do a job and I don't know when I will get back.
-Edit- Brian is now on #2. So it goes as below
#1 - RKauer
#2 - Brian
Just to point out to you Brian, these machines have no keyboards or mice. It's just the desktop part. I am more than willing to supply the adapter design to make an adapter to the A2000/3000 keyboards. I just cannot make them, cause I have no soldering skills.
I forgot to ask: all the machines are the boot-loader version, right? No problem, as I have a 1.1 kick disk here and will be able to kick 1.3 (even burn a suitable 1.3 4x EPROMs) on this babe.
BTW: good job!
Thank you. I weighed the A1000 and it weighs 13 Pounds with the power supply in, removing the powersupply only drops the weight by 3 pounds. So packed weight would be 15 pounds. If you can pm me your postal code, I will see how affordably I can ship her to you.
Edit - Yes all of these require you to boot the Kickstart off of a disk, then load the workbench from a disk. There don't appear to be a spot where you can put kickstart Roms in the machine?
