Going to sell my Amiga 1000 setup as it’s not seeing use with my 2000 around. I’d love to keep just for its looks but I don’t have the room in the uk since moving back from the Netherlands.
It’s all stock, 512kb ram. A1010 drive with it.
Pros:
- PSU is almost silent. Screen buzz is louder than the psu almost.
- drives are solid and work great
- minimal yellowing on system (keyboard is moderately yellowed)
- 1084S is solid and not yellowed
- took apart the keyboard and removed every key. Sprayed the surround black as it was disgusting as usual for one never touched. Got all keys at least giving continuity on the meter.
- barely a noise or smell to the CRT. Front flap also present!
Cons:
- even with servicing the keyboard, about 4-5 keys are sticky. They are all working but these ones you have to press hard or rock the key slightly. Cleaning with some contact cleaner would be good, at best, taking it apart again like I did. But as all switches were giving continuity I hope that’s not needed.
- caps in the angled head mouse smell fishy. Replacing these caps is in my opinion essential. These angled head mice are worth saving. It works fine but don’t take the risk.
-some slight scuffs to the top of the case, where a monitor has sat before.
- some yellowing to the top of the case, created a slight ring where the monitor would have sat which isn’t seen with the crt on top.
I will split this down and sell without the CRT as I appreciate shipping is a nightmare on price.
I would like to get £600 for the set or £480 for the system and £120 for the monitor is separate. Postage will be on the buyer. Tracked using Royal Mail from the uk.
*Price drop to £400 for the system.
payment will be PayPal goods with fees added or via friends and family.
Feel free to get in touch for videos of it running etc
thanks.
*Should add its a PAL system, 220V. Qwerty keyboard.
** I also have a 2mb fast ram expansion that was working great with it on KS1.3. Now it resets the system when attached. I will happily throw it in for free in case the buyer can get it fixed or fix themselves.
