Hi Folks,
Curt, would you consider shipping a slab to the UK, and if so how much
would it cost me? I think the chances of getting one over here otherwise
might be pretty slim!
Recent finds:
Boxed Atari 520STfm
Boxed Amiga A590 hard drive - nice! Like the SCSI out on the back.
Odyssey 1 'Baseball' game in practically complete condition
Unused boxed Timex Sinclair TS1000
Unused boxed Timex Sinclair TS1500
Unused Timex Sinclair TS2068 - smart :) Even the demo cassette is still
wrapped.
ICL One-Per-Desk with hi-res monitor in fully working condition; it's
even y2k compliant!
Mint boxed Sega Megadrive II to go with my Megadrive and MegaCD
Commodore CDTV with keyboard and floppy drive - wahey!
Another Mac Colour Classic :) I'm a sucker for compact macs, plus it was
only ukp10.
Mac Performa 5300
Acorn A7000 with monitor and keyboard
Acorn A4000 with keyboard (another one)
Fileware 'Twiggy' disk for the Lisa 1 :o))
Open University PT502 'Hektor' training machine. Hehe.....goes nicely
with the PT501!
Requests:
Anyone got a spare superfloppy for the Mac Colour Classic? My new one's
suffered from the 'dead floppy being pulled out with pliers' syndrome so
the r/w heads are munged as is some of the sensory gubbins.
And, anyone got a remote control and mouse for the CDTV they don't want
any more? <hopes>. My CDTV works fine but it's difficult to use without
the remote.....
cheers!

I've got a CDTV myself, but it's CD-ROM doesn't work. Otherwise it
works fine booted from a floppy, acting like an A500. I've got
keyboard, wireless mouse, remote and a black Roctek floppy drive. What
does your keyboard look like? Mine is black and looks identical to the
A3000/A4000 keyboard except for the connector but it doesn't have 'CDTV'
below the Amiga logo in the upper right corner and it almost looks like
it was spray painted black. The cord and connector don't look like a
homebrew job though.

Hi Adrian,
Sure, I'd be happy to ship one, I'd highly recommend shipping by boat,
no air as it'll cost into the hundreds. Do you want a monitor? (its
actually a necessity since the keyboard/mouse plug into the monitor and the
monitor cable plugs into the slab and also takes its power from the slab.)
Let me know and I have no problems lugged down two boxes (1 cpu, 1
monitor) to the post office for you.

Hi,
If your prepared to ship to the UK I would be very interested in getting a
slab, monitor, keyboard and bits if there are still some going.
How much do expect shipping by boat to the UK will be? and how long will it
take?

If Curt is going to ship overseas, keep in mind the customs issues.
You'll have to properly word the contents so as not to make it seem like
this is a contemporary machine worth thousands of dollars (although it
really should be :)
What generally works is calling it "Non-working electronic equipment for
educational purposes only -- no commercial value"...something to that
effect.

New subject: NeXT slabs,
Hi, Curt.
It has come to my attention that there has been some problems
with my email host, and a lot of stuff has been bouncing....
If you've been trying to reach me about shipping costs for my little
slab of heaven, and it keeps bouncing, use my work address of
pbraun(a)olivellp.com as it seems to be OK.
Thanks.

I'd be interested in the answer to that question too.

Hi,
Shipping to the UK seems fairly quick, they say 6-8 weeks, however my Atari
History co-founder and friend lives in Tipperary, Ireland and we constantly ship
equipment to one another and usually it gets there within 3-4 weeks.
The monitors (actually the slabs too) are pretty heavy, I will see what this
will all cost, plus $6 for box and $3 for bubble wrapping of everything.
