I've had to move donor feet over on my A1000 before - the odd pill-shaped black ones that go underneath the A1000 case. Occasionally a machine will arrive where one of those is missing.
Your machine is looking and sounding better and better!
Haha, thanks.intric8 wrote:My god. It's full of stars...
That glamour shot is GORGEOUS. That's pure Amiga 1000 porn. LOVE
Thanks for that. Just checking out your twitter stream now - even more AmigaLove goodness! Congrats on the presentation BTW - can’t wait to see the vid for that.intric8 wrote:@primitivefuntion, I posted your pic on Twitter and it's safe to say it was very well received. The lighting and object placements are just so good.
Yes, i knew there were different revisions of the regular tanks, but I didn’t realise there were differences even between A1000 tanks. At least its good to know the C= engineers were constantly improving on their designs. I picked up an A3000 ‘pregnant’ mouse not long ago which is another interesting one - it feels very small in the hand and takes a bit of getting used to but I think I’m liking it.intric8 wrote:@primitivefunction and yes, there are indeed several variations of tanks. I've run across at least three different internals. And that's not including the "imposter" tank that was intended for 8-bit Commodores the 1351. At least that mouse has a different plug so you can spot it.
Brilliant tip. I’m going to have to try that!A10001986 wrote:You can restore the keyboard cable to its original condition (just the shape, not the color, of course) by tightly wrapping it around the handle of a wooden spoon (whose handle has a suitable diameter; I fixed the cable ends with tape) and putting into an oven for no more than 20 mins at 70 deg C / 150 deg F. Important: Leave if on the spoon until it has cooled down completely! Removing it too early means doing it again...
