Forgive me if I miss anything, but I'm going to try and recite this from memory....
5 Commodore 64's(2 work, 3 for parts)
2 Commodore 128's(both work, one is set up for HD)
2 Commodore VIC-20's(one dead, one works)
2 Commodore +4's (one dead, one works)
1 Commodore 16 (works)
1 Commodore SX-64(works, but the built in floppy is dead, I hard wired it to device 10 so I could hook up an external as device 8)
3 Amiga 500's(all work, one is the rare Rev. 8 motherboard w/full ECS chipset)
1 Amiga 1000(needs a new keyboard, but works fine otherwise)
1 Amiga 3000(is being repaired...)
My SX-64, Rev8 A-500, and my 3000 are the pride and joy of my collection. The SX I literally got for free(it was a package deal...$40 for the SX, printer, software, and ROM burner...my friend wanted the ROM burner, so we split the cost. I sold the printer for $20.)
The Rev8 motherboard cost me $85, and that was cheaper than the guy(owner of Paxtron) was selling them for to everyone else. I ran into him at a NJ hamfest...he had been doing a lot of dealing with a friend of mine, so he cut me a break.
My 3000 came to me via an interesting story....I had begun buying and selling used Commodore hardware and software, and bought a boatload of stuff(literally took me two trips to bring it all home!) from this guy for $80....I resold the stuff individually, and made over $700...enough to buy the 3000. After getting it home, I found out it was a little flaky(had some chips ready to go up)...so I did a few more hamfests, made some more money, and upgraded it to the then latest chipset....and dropped a 4.3GB SCSI III drive in it with an adapter. To this day, when it's working right, it boots faster than my fiance's 1.8Ghz IBM compatable, and is way more reliable.
