So i bought a HUGE box filled with Amiga 500 stuff. Among the HUGE amount of floppy-disks, 8-9 joysticks, two mouses, power supplies, cables and whatnot were two fully functional Commodore Amiga 500's. One of wich i have named "Scrappy" since it's really cheaply build (in Hong Kong ofcourse) and it has some damage there and there and even corrosion due to a RAM battery having rotten over time.
I cleaned it up quite neatly though and will be using Scrappy for well... experiments and back-up parts.
The other Amiga 500 is a professionally West-German build so it's really high quality and all top notch components. It also has a perfectly mint condition RAM expansion. Even the batteries inside don't have a single bit of corrosion or whatever! So i'll be using that one as my main retro computer. Just for normal usage (programming?).
Expect more of these two very soon!

That is just amazing! I know of a little store that sells these sorts of things with an eBay page if you want.
Well there are some people selling stuff for these in the Netherlands (in fact i'm picking up a third amiga 500 today XD) wich is much easier.
Nonetheless i'd love to have the link!

oh means the West-German one comes from Brunswik, a friend worked at Commodore ages ago
oh man that's really cool ;)
i really like how the Amiga 500 is build up on the inside and the way the PCB and chips are ordered is really neat, good stuff!

Oh man, you just reminded me of the good old days. My first computer was ZX Spectrum 48k. I still have it today and it still works. The first real PC in our house was 286 in 1992. Ahhhh...those were the days.
