I'm after a good condition Amiga 500 (not plus, will be using for watching demos so want maximum compatibility ) with PSU and preferably with 1 MB chip ram. If anyone has a SCART lead too would be much appreciated...
Found Amiga 500

Hi there
I may have something for you. Ive got an A500 (rev 6a motherboard, modified to map 1MB ChipRAM), half meg expansion (total RAM 1MB). I would need to check Ive got all the extra bits but Im certain Ive got a PSU and a scart lead somewhere.
Can you give me a day or two to have a look? Ill post pics when Ive found everything

That sounds just the ticket
BTW not too bothered if its a bit yellow (afterall these are getting a bit long in the tooth) I had one of these about 10 years ago and never came across the dreaded caps problem does this motherboard still look pretty clean ?Thanks,

Hi Jon
Regarding caps, youre thinking of the A600/A1200 mate
A500 Plus' suffer from fatal battery leakage (Ive got like five of them lol) but A500's are fine. Righty, Ive had a look around and got some bits for you. Its an A500 (missing key on the keypad but it works if you press it, not used by much Amiga stuff though). Its not very yellow at all and Ive had this playing various games for a while now.
The motherboard is rev 6a and has the 1MB ChipRAM hack done (A500s come with 512KB ChipRAM normally), this allows the A500 to map 1MB ChipRAM when it has the half meg upgrade installed. It has Kickstart 1.3.
The PSU and joystick are also tested OK, I will have to test the scart lead and the mouse.
Ive attached a pic, Ill need to test the stuff as above but Its a bit late now so Ill do that tomorrow afternoon and post back here

Hi Jon
Righty, Ive tested everything now, all is OK The scart was a royal pain in the arse 
I found a few scart leads but only ONE (!) works with my Samsung LCD TV 
I think its a wiring thing that doesnt affect CRT teles but anyway, the working one is with th lot Im offering you.
Ive also attached some more pics.
Please can you PM me if you wish to proceed

The parcel was collected today and is now on its way to Jon
However, I cocked up and forgot to put the scart cable in the box
oh: I have PM'd Jon and am trying to sort out getting it posted out to him ASAP
Feedback has also been left for Jon
Sorry for the mess up with the scart lead Jon, Ive got it packaged up and will get it to you promptly
