Just got my BenQ BL702A after reading here in the forums that it can sync down to 15kHz.
The I also ordered a couple of RGB to VGA adapters here on Amibay.
I also ordered 4 way EIDE99 buffered ports for my A1200 from Amigakit. (Unfortunately the cheap version was out of stock so I ordered the expensive version ;-)

Went to the car boot sale today. I always look for retro computers and consoles but as usual just the usual assortment of playstations.

I did pick up however for super dirt cheap a Playstation 2 Slimline, those tiny ones which is modchipped and included a bunch of original games, two controllers (one was junk) and (the reason why i bought it) Buzz! controllers and game

Also picked up a sealed 10 pack of 1.44mb floppy disks

Got my self a Sega Saturn from Japan a couple of days ago. Don't have many games for it yet, but got my hands on a Action Replay cartridge for it which enables it to play games from different regions.

 

[Sardine]

picked up a couple of items this week.

no photo but a working Tava Flyer 80186 portable PC, harddisk (20mb) spins but not recognised,
boots msdos 3.3 from 720k floppy(converted from 5.25 to 3.5 fdd), 80x25 char lcd screen, 640k ram, 1987, instructions and bag. no use whatsoever so I will be returning this to my friend as I don't want to bin it unless he gives me permission to strip it and have a snoop in it as I believe the HDD runs off an ISA MFM card, but info is very limited.

The dragon 32 was poorly, very poor output to tv and looks like he was using it to feed his dog, the label is a work in progress, need to find my glossy paper.
traced the issue to a dry joint on one of the large capacitors on the internal power board, picture is now perfect and a good scrub in the bath with vanish powder

AFTER


lastly is my best yet, 7 boxed Acetronic games and a working console (no psu, why do people misplace the PSU's, as they are like rocking horse poop) I now have 3 consoles all sharing 1 PSU.

Picked these up off the other bay to replace a slightly curled label on my A1200. Well I think they look cool.

Originals? - I dont think a1200s came with ones like these did they?

With hindsight I should have bought - and may still buy - these ones... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore...805?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c53279eed

 

[MC1173]

Yeah I did the same thing.

He has them for just about any case badge you might need (Amigas, C64, C64c, C128, C128D, Power, and the Power badge labeled "64")

Looks good on my test breadbin.

That looks REALLY nice. I just bought one too.

My A1200 still has the original "badge" and in good condition but its an an Amiga branded (not Commodore) with the sticker instead of a badge.

Opinion needed... Should I replace the Amiga(tm) 1200HD sticker with the badge ?

Just rested the new badge in place to see how it looks (am about to order an a1200 HD/60 badge) - I like it!

EDIT - Wow, my phone camera makes my a1200 look so nice and white! (Its certainly not quite to nice in real life!)

Now, I don't really need a Commodore 64 as I have a breadbin plus a C128 and C128D. I've however always had a bit of a soft spot for the C model. Back in the good old times I would've liked to change my breadbin to the C.

I'm also a lazy b*stard as I didn't want to bother digging out the breadbin from the boxes or my C128D from the closet. For some reason I thought it would be less hassle to drive 5 kilometers and get a new computer.

Well, it's in pretty good condition externally as there is no yellowing with the exception of the PSU. Have to open it up and do bit of cleaning and measure the PSU before powering it up.

 

[YuT666]

Bought a Thomson lot with 1x MO5, 1x MO6, 2x TO7, 2x TO8, a datasette, some disk drives, light pens, sticks & games. I hope i'll restoresome of these things.

I got this nice little 7" LCD panel with controller board from AliExpress. It is marketed as a display for the RPi but I have other plans for it.

Another Kickstarter book, volume 2 of ZX Spectrum In Pixels. The card included is interesting, a new retro magazine...

Some goodness for my speccy

 

[DojoDan]

Hmm, I have a DivIDE Plus for my speccy, which I love, but it's so big. I wonder differences there are between it and your MMC?
