I'm clearing out some stuff. Prices below not including postage. Most of these things won't make sense to post outside of the UK, either due to batteries or weight. I'll put the more valuable ones on eBay later if no-one here wants them.


Powerbook 145B (£30): No battery. Working fine off mains power, as far as I can tell. Good physical condition.

iPod Nano 1st Gen 2GB black (£25): In good working order. Heavy scratches on the back. Light radial cracks around the outside of the click wheel which don't show up in the photos (they don't seem to be structural). It ran for about 8 hours of audio play, on a lowish volume without much user interaction. Includes USB cable, CD, and a box from a 1GB white (didn't notice that when I bought it). I had Rockbox on it for a while, but with no hardware reset and non-removable battery, that means waiting for it to go flat if it crashes; so the Apple OS is restored.

ZX Spectrum (£10): No power supply. No idea if it works.

Saturn controller (£10): Tested with my 4-Play. Working well. Feels almost new.

3rd party Saturn controller (free): Tested with my 4-Play. Working. Feels like the buttons weren't that great to start with. (I don't know what the "slow" and "turbo" switches are supposed to do.)

Set of 4 cordless phones with answering machine (£5): All basically working. Scruffy-looking, and the buttons not great on one handset. 2 battery packs were replaced, and there's another spare one not put in yet, but the connecting wires are too short on the replacements so took a little convincing to make them work.

Electronic pinball game (free): About 45cm long. Needs 4*C batteries for sound effects and scoring.

AMD ADA3000AEP4AX processor with fan (free): No idea if it works.

Things I don't have any more:

Pink Game Boy Micro (£35): The device itself is in very good condition. With charger, cloth bag, and somewhat damaged box. I got about 5 hours of play out of the battery last time. sold to FZERO

Mega Drive console (free): No power supply. No idea if it works. sold to FZERO

NES console + 2 controllers (£15): No power supply. No idea if the console works. Tested the controllers with my 4-Play: they do work, but the select/start buttons are a bit flaky on one of them. sold to FZERO

Hi.. the nes and megadrive and pink micro.


How much post to London please
 
I think £10 but still checking some things. (Could fit more in for that, so if you're interested in a Playstation I'll hurry up and sort it out.) Found a joystick that might work in a Mega Drive too.
 
Sorry for the delay. I've only sent things by Royal Mail before (not suitable in this case). I think I'll need to ask some questions on Monday.
 
Hi FZERO,

I can send it by CollectPlus for £7. Is Paypal OK?

Do you want the joystick? Archer 270-7003 which has a "Sega" setting and fits into the socket on the Mega Drive. Don't know if it works.

Do you need video cables? I can spare a not-great 2-channel RCA cable (enough to test NES composite output) and a male-male TV aerial cable with an RCA adapter (should work for the RF output on both).

Being clear that the NES and Mega Drive are not expected to work (bonus if they do).

Just out of curiosity, what is the size of the HDD in the PowerBook 145B as back then, about this mac only showed RAM.

Get Info on the Drive should do the trick :)

Cheers
 
It says there are 15MB used, but I can't find how big it is.

...

Ah, if I open the disk, there's a row below the window's title bar which says "15.2 MB in disk, 61.6 MB available", so that makes 76.8 MB :)

This is a useful book. For Macs a bit newer than the one I have, but it gave me a hint about where to find the hard disk size, and also got me out of "please insert the disk" after I had ejected a floppy.

Thanks again Helen for the sale!

I'd like to add also, that all the items arrived in good time - I'm just late updating this thread - And all of the items work just fine too.
I know you weren't able to test the Nes or the Megadrive, but both of those boot up and play my carts ok

Cheers :)
