Sold A500+, Vampire V2+, RGBtoHDMI, Gotek, Networking in CheckMate 1500Plus case

[chiark]

This is sitting unused and unloved so it should go to a better home... My Vampired 1500plus in great condition, with the original Kickstarter box. Specs are pretty much ultimate:

• CheckMate 1500plus case, kickstarter edition with original box, with 300W SFX power supply
• Amiga keyboard, UK layout, including CheckMate metal case and cable
• Amiga 500 plus Rev 8A board, 1MB CHIP RAM on board, Kickstart 3.1 (I believe!), battery removed many years ago and replaced with rechargeable coin cell, no damage visible
• 1MB CHIP RAM expansion giving 2MB chip
• Vampire V2+, with 128MB RAM, 68080, SAGA RTG via HDMI out
• Ethernet module and 3D printed bracket
• RGBtoHDMI with Pi Zero, 16GB card and latest release of RGBtoHDMI
• Gotek drive with custom 3D printed faceplate, OLED display, rotary encoder and piezo speaker (for drive activity), has been spraypainted to match the CheckMate colour
• 32MB CF Card, currently with CoffinOS which will be formatted to meet Amibay rules
• 2 HDMI out cables, one for native and one for SAGA RTG

Basically, that's pretty much the ultimate setup on an A500. It's lightning fast and in excellent condition, but I'm using other machines more - it hasn't been used in well over a year so that's well into the realms of just hording...

I would much prefer to deliver this by hand in the UK and if you're somewhat local we can discuss delivery or meeting up somewhere. I will ship to the UK via insured courier. No warranty as this is old kit, and there's a lot that could move about so the buyer will need to check everything is properly seated following shipping! It is fully working, and I will of course support you in validating everything is still properly connected! (This is why I'd much, much rather we met up!)

Asking £1000 including UK insured shipping, payment via F&F. I will consider offers. I will not split.

Photos from today, 24th April. Any questions, please ask!

What a machine wow nice

 

[chiark]

Thanks Szmn! I've been working out how to ship this in the most safe way, and leaving the boards in but bracing them so they can't fall out will be they way to go I believe. I've taped all the dupont connectors to their mount points too, and taken detailed photographs in case something does move. Please open and check before powering on. Looks like FedEx, UPS or ParcelForce are all options including insurance. Will PM you back
