My Collection

[dongfeng]

1x Atari 2600 (black version, like the woodgrain box but no woodgrain) with Pitfall! (broken), Pacman and Laser Blast games. 2x Joystick.

1x Commodore VIC-20, with Datasette Unit, Commodore "carry case" which everything fits into 8) Wacky Waiters game (I had more games but I've lost them when I lent to a friend 8 years ago :x )

Amiga 500, I upgraded it with an extra 512MB to make it 1MB memory!!! too many games to mention for this, Citizen swift 9-pin printer, Monitor rack that fits over the keyboard, Philips monitor...

Amstrad CPC6128 with Amstrad monitor/TV, given to me by a friend but the disc drive is broken despite replacing the belt. Anyone have the spare drive for sale cheap ah? :)

BBC Model B, with 5" disk drive and lots of ROM chips :)

I've owned the Atari, Amiga and VIC20 since new! Apart from the BBC and Amstrad, they're all in original box.

I will get some picture and make a website one day!

Enjoy!

Hi...
Where are you from m8 ?
About your Amstrad, what is the error message you've got ? What kind of replacement belt did you use ?

Hi!

I live in England, and all my computer are UK-spec ones.

I fixed the Amstrad drive with an elastic band (one of those wide profile ones) as I didn't realise the proper belts were available then. It worked fine for some years! However now, the computer has been unused for a long time. IIRC the disk drive doesn't even make any noise :?

I think the CPC6128 is fairly cheap to buy on eBay, so I might just try to get another one as I have all the manuals, monitor, etc.

I just remembered! I was given another box with the Amstrad containing two printers and a TV tuner that fits under the monitor!

When I first got the computer, I copied out a really long program for it. I then had to go out, and since I had no spare disc, I switched the monitor off. I didn't realise the monitor had power for the computer!!! :oops:

I will get some pictures, but around X'mas time when I am home long enough! For now, I will just have to use the emulator.
