Entry 1004: Blog: 1

Some may recall that around two years ago I decided
to have a bit of a break. I collated what I had
acquired later in 2008 and did the last real update
September of that year... Anyway, I was tempted out
from under my rock by a very very kind gentleman
who asked me to have his Amiga collection. I was
so proud and privileged to be given this opportunity
and treked north to fill my vehicle with Amiga
goodies once more. Suffice to say that the lions
share of this list has been contributed by a very
spacial Amigan.... A big thanks to Chris T.

And so... deep breath time.

Just a selection from the vast collection of Amigas
given to me for safe keeping. I will treasure them all

Entry 1004: Blog: 2

Because of a very large table full of Amigas in front
of this cupboard I had not ventured into it for five
years. And so on opening the cupboard I found all of this
Which was nice ....

Included in the hive of boxes is my original Amiga
1200 Desktop Dynamite pack with the label reminding
me of the original 80MB drive fitted. The Amiga
Magic pack was bought new from Analogic just in case
my original Amiga breaks. It has a Blizzard 1230IV
SCSI Kit.

There was good reason for my efforts to open the
lost store cupboard. Inside there were two Amiga
500 Plus' and I guessed the batteries were 
leaking... So having recovered them and opened
up this is what I found...

Suffice to say they were saved and live on.

Phew !

Sadly the one Amiga had been the treasured possession
of a Lady vicar from Scotland and was in perfect
condition in it's original box with all the seals
in place. It broke my heart to be the one that had
to break those seals and I did struggle with this.
I may be a collector, but given that I never ever
did this for profit I felt that saving the computer
was more important than any value a mint machine
may have.... And so the seals were broken, and
the machine was saved.

Images of both Amiga 500s being repaired. The damage 
was only superficial and cleaned up easy. You can
see from the active power light and image on the 
monitor that they powered up fine.

Note the image of the inside of the Cartoon Classics
with the note about the A500 Plus having the A501
already installed. This was done by Commodore
because those that ordered their A500 at the 
release of the 500 Plus would have opened their
Cartoon Classics box to find inside a 500 Plus
instead.... That must have been a wonderful surprise.

That bunch of batteries lying on the worktop are 
just four removed in the last week from computers.
These barrel batteries are real killers and sadly
sometimes you are not successful.

Poor Miggy :-(

Entry 1004: Blog: 4

Those visiting the site hit a new record in March with 
over 17000 visitors to the web pages of Commodore Amiga 
Retro. From the mail I get their are still loads of folk 
interested in the Amiga platform. Looks like I shall be 
busy for some considerable time to come.

Happy Days :-)
