Here is an old beast that I'm told needs a new drive (I'm told it
turns on, spins but won't format) that may be on it's way to the
dumpster at our surplus depot. If someone has a use for it let me
know.... "if" I can talk the surplus manager out of it you could get
it for shipping cost. No guarantees. I can get it but if someone
wants it I can try.
Regards,
Mike Melland

The Bondwell B310 Plus has been spoken for and the Heathkit EC-1 I had
earlier listed for sale has been purchased by a list member as well.

New subject: Amiga A500 is sold.
All interested parties were alerted to the status of the bid this morning,
and I have received no better offers. As of 3:30pm CST the A500 is now sold
to a member of the list. Thanks very much to everyone who made an offer.

New subject: Whee! SX-64 Exec found (funny)
Just had to share my excitement / amusement. I nabbed a really mint Commodore
SX-64 Executive last night at the thrift store for $9.95. It was just sitting
there running, with the cursor flying side to side on the screen.. now here is
the funny part: the reason the curson was moving, was that there was a pair of
RABBIT EARS sitting on the keyboard, holding down the spacebar. Apparently, the
clever staff had tried to attach the rabbit ears to the machine, thinking it
was a portable televsion set...!
Must have thought it was one of those "web TVs" ;)

New subject: Whee! SX-64 Exec found (funny)
Some people have all the luck,
The last two SX-64's I've found at thift stores don't seem to work. They
have different symptoms so my hope someday is to somehow swap parts
between the two and get one running....

Or just find a few abundant C-64's and sacrifice them for the necessary
parts (the innards of the SX-64 are just a C-64).

Greetings Sellam,
I did secure a C64 but haven't had a chance to open up anything yet.
Thanks for the thoughts!

As long as one consideres soldering and similar as
'hot swapping' of parts :) The SX is based on the same
chips, but tith totaly different boards and several add
ons.
Viel Spass.
Gruss
