Current Working Machines

Acorn Archimedes A3000

This Archimedes is an early revision with a 1MB RAM upgrade installed. Luckily the battery damage was minimal.

Acorn Archimedes A3010

I bought this from a school teacher who in-turn purchased it from their school. It came with an Acorn printer which I haven’t tested yet and an Acorn monitor which was given away to a member of the Norwich Amiga Group.

Acorn Archimedes A5000

This is an ex-BBC World Service machine I bought from eBay. I thought it would only need very minor repairs based on the photos and description, unfortunately it required a lot more work than I expected. But it is now running very well.

Acorn RiscPC 700

This RiscPC was acquired via eBay and luckily was in quite good condition, just really dirty and some battery damage to take care of. I added many upgrades to this machine as I love using it.

Acorn Atom

This Acorn Atom was purchased along with a boot load of Acorn parts. It was mostly functional, but needed a little bit of work to reduce the heat / power stress on the machine.

BBC Master 128

This BBC Master 128 was acquired in an eBay auction which was to raise funds to keep the computer museum open due to Covid-19. It has a “BBC Radio” branding stamp on it, the history of which is unknown. It is speculated that the machine was used to communicate with broadcasters about incoming callers.

Amiga 500 Plus #1

This Amiga 500 Plus came with hundreds of disks and many accessories. The accessories alone were worth what I paid for it. I know it had changed hands at least once before and person I had bought it from had never turned it on. It has been fully restored and is my main home Amiga.

Amiga 600

This machine was acquired already recapped and fully working. It was one to add to my collection to test Amiga 600 upgrades.

Amiga 1000

This Amiga 1000 was an eBay acquisition and needed a little work and some careful restoration. It is now used at Amiga shows because it is a functioning part of Amiga history.

Amiga 1200

This Amiga 1200 became available on the Norwich Amiga Group at the end of 2020 and arrived 2nd Jan 2021. It came as the bare unit with a PSU. The machine has yellowed at the front and on the keyboard, the floppy drive was also not working. Internally it is a revision 2B motherboard with Kickstart 3.0.

Amiga 2000

This Amiga 2000 I originally restored for a friend and then ended up purchasing from him. It had been badly battery damaged and a previous owner had drilled out the CPU socket holes. It required a lot of patch work to fix the motherboard.

Amiga 3000

This Amiga 3000 was imported from Canada and required conversion to UK voltage and video signal (this isn’t too difficult). The machine is a 16MHz 68030 with 68881 FPU. It came with 2MB Chip RAM and 4MB of Fast RAM in ZIPs, it also has a 100MB SCSI hard drive and Amiga OS 3.1.

Amiga 4000

I acquired two Amiga 4000s in August 2023. Restored them piece by piece and assembled two new Amiga 4000s out of the parts. The one I’m keeping is a 68040 25MHz based machine with 16MB of RAM, a new PSU, and a reproduction motherboard.

Amiga CD32

The CD32 came from a friend’s stock, he had already removed the capacitors ready for a recap, but the new ones had not been installed. The drive had been snapped off the casing and itself was damaged. Which meant a new case and drive were also needed. In addition, there was no red colour output on the video due to a bad IC.

Commodore CDTV

This CDTV did not require a lot of work. It is typically used to play the CD version of Xenon II at Amiga events.

Commodore 64 (Australian case)

This is a breadbin Commodore 64 in an after-market case designed by an Australian company to make it look a little like the C64C. It required some repair work but is now fully functional.

Schneider Euro PC

This machine was extremely dirty when I received it, but actually in very good condition relatively speaking.

Machines To Be Restored / In Progress

Acorn RiscPC #2

Unfortunately this one has had significant damage due to insufficient packaging when it was posted. It will take some time to repair and restore it.

Atari 520 STe

A local friend who is into the retro computing scene gave me this Atari 520 STe to repair along with an Amiga 500 shell and keyboard that had yellowed. The Amiga parts will be used for a future project.

I have been told that the Atari has had a 4MB upgrade and since then it hangs after a few minutes of usage. When the original RAM was put back it was still hanging.
