New additions here recently: Sega megadrive 2, the plan was to add switches (50/60hz, language and over clock) but as soon as I took the case off, I found a va4 board. So the over clock is not possible. On a positive note I added the lang and 50/60hz switched without cutting the case by getting switches small enough to fit in the vents on the bottom.
Will add some photos tonight.

Post here everytime you get something new!
Well I went home to my mums home in Scotland for the Christmas and New year Period, and was telling my mum about my recent big spend on Amiga stuff, to which she said to me "You know all you Amiga Stuff from when you where a kid is up in the attic" to which I replied "No way I thought you sold it all" so I went up there and the amount of stuff I had collected from my car boots sales trips as a lad was unbelievable. I Know you may say its not new stuff because technically I all ready had it but in my defense I did believe it was all sold.
Here it all is I know there is some non Amiga stuff there too, but it is mostly Amiga

How did you never think to check or ask? Why did you just assume it was all sold?

Picked this up on a trip down to Berkely to grab a vintage computer for a friend. It's a weird little "vector synthesizer" (which is a fancy, trademarkable way of saying that it's based on crossfading between four different sound sources - two PCM tones and two FM tones - as a way of shaping the overall output.) It's an interesting combination of gritty early-digital sonic character and spacey, lush early-'90s sound design - it's like some kind of Bizarro World version of the Korg Wavestation that was intended for...I dunno, industrial New Age, or something. I'm really enjoying it

well when I left home when I was 18 I said to my parents that they could sell or get rid of the stuff I had left so I assumed it was all sold because when I visited a few months later my old room was all empty of all my stuff and made into the Guest room
Random thrift shop finds once again.
been quiet in here, no one get anything great for Christmas? (I got a few things, but most of the good stuff is on the way, with some Christmas money being spent on catching up a bit with X-Wing ships, and both expansions for Imperial Assault and a few other figs as well (ie: R2D2/C3PO, Boba Fett, Dengar, Leia and 1 or 2 others on the way)

My first A4000/040 (A4000cr Rev D) project!
Picked it up locally for a good price.
It came with a silly external tower "construction", a scsi zorro II card connects externally to a pc tower that is fitted with just a harddisk, jaz and cd drive... I guess the previous owner couldn't have enough storage
Next steps : Clean everything, change the psu (really loud atm), and fit a nice graphical card (not really sure what options there are for a A4000).

Trimming down the computer collection has a positive side to it: more room for consoles, yay!
Not one i've dreamt of having as a kid, but excited nonetheless: a Casio Loopy!
(if anyone has a clue what those two q-tips are for, please let me know )

Just a guess, but cleaning the contacts when they get dirty?

Maybe the sound levels are crap, so they wanted to be sure you'd cleaned your ears before playing?

Ooh a super busy week..

EDIT: pics added! .. it works! And seems to have a colour card - that doesnt work??
EDIT2: the psu just blew its filter caps. stinky
EDIT3: its a videx 80 col card - no colour. still good
