Kickstart Amiga User Group Event - June 22nd 2024

Retronaut last visited a KickStart event in Ottershaw in February of 2024.
Now its June and the Summer had finally arrived and this event featured a BBQ!

For this first time, I brought along some machines, my Dicke Olga A2000 and my Silicon Graphics Octane.
Less vendors this time, but on the flip side, more Amiga nuts, with their Amigas and other retro Computers on display.

Was my first time joining the group as well and my first time since showing off my kit since before the pandemic.

Kudos to Chris and the team for organising such a great gathering!

Hey, your the vendor of the 1541 disk drives, right? So, did they sell, or?

Yeah Michele took them off my hands

I see you put the drive to one side sorry about that! The drive that was in with the C128 it's the clips on the facia that are broken, it never sold on the day so I'm trying to get it repaired so hopefully will be back to it's former glory soon!

Yes, I actually have a C128D and the drive to match, so I THINK I have that drive in working condition.

However, I also have a C64 and I was sharing that drive with it, but I would like an older model 1541 to match its aesthetic. Oh well, the one that got away...
