Amstrad CPC 464, Swap for Commodore C16?
Hi folks,
After many years of not owning any Amstrad machines I now find that I have a surplus!
I have a spare, working CPC 464. Don't really want to sell it, but fancy swapping with someone for a Commodore C16. The C16 must also be fully working, but as I don't have a spare PSU for the Amstrad I would accept a C16 with no PSU too.
I can put some pictures up tomorrow when I'm not working away
Any interest?

Got a fully working Plus4 setup with PSU / Tape Unit.
The Plus4 is In pristine condition but the tape unit has a few marks....
As far as I am aware the Plus 4 is C16 + extra memory & built in software......

Hi TC,
Yep, you're right about the Plus 4. You're interested in swapping that for the Amstrad?

Excellent news
I dropped your parcel off yesterday using collect+, so you should see it soon.
I also included a psu cable with correct fitting for the system, you may find it easier to modify a c64 psu with this cable rather than find an original psu.

@ tct: You really should try the excellent looking Way Of The Exploding Fist remake for the Plus 4. Haven't tried it myself but it sure looks awesome. You really can't tell it from the C64 version, meaning it's lightyears better looking than the original C16 port. Unfortunately, I can't remember the address of the site that hosts it along with other C16 games.

Thanks! I shall seek it out once the necessary tinkering has been completed
