Re: WTB: Screws for Amiga 3000 !
Afaik, the side screws on the A3KD are stock everyday screws as used in pee cee cases thesedays. Even if not, you could certainly get something of the same thread & for the looks side of things, most hardware stores sell plastic caps to finish screw heads off for kitchen veneers. Push the screw through the collar, tighten & snap the beige cap on. You can even get screw cover which are quite chunky & have an attached lid to flip into the seated screw. Despite not being original, hows that for a choice of hacks?

@Tahoe: the serial port of the A3000T is loose, mate...
@Chiark: a matter of advice is better to find similar screws and washers and do a paint job on them.
Another hard mission will be find the exact matching colour to paint the buggers... :banghead:

Re: WTB: Screws for Amiga 3000 !
Indeed! cheers, will try that
I've finally set my 3k up to get rid of the whining hard drive and replace with CF, and I can now run it with the kds in bed . I've even finally fitted the 16MB simm fonie thing rather than Zips. Still no joy with the 3.1 ROMS though - they cause the system to be less reliable than an early 80s czech car

Hi!
Thanks for looking, and for finding
. With regards to what they're worth, I really don't know. Does $10 including postage sound OK? I have no clue here, so please let me know. Or are there any bits that you're after? (I hope not from a 2000 - I just gave one away )

I'm after Amiga/general programming books (ASM/C/C++), RetroGamer magazines, 8580 SID and CDTV stuff
Your 10$ offer is fine too.
Tell me what you got.

No SIDs, unfortunately, and no spare C books as I still use them from time to time
. I've not got a CDTV (my only failing - apart from tower amigas that is!), and my retrogamer collection is missing issues too...
