Hi All

Looks like I need to build a few SS20 systems up, anyone have any chassis they
want to part with and any SS20 motherboards?

I am in the U.K., so prefer EU, but willing to consider anything at this
point.

Thanks

Peter

Please describe the need for these systems, I'm in US and don't think I have
any useful items for you but I am curious as to the reason for the request...

Hi Lionel

Sorry, I should have explained that I have a customer who wants them for
spares, so I am looking to buy them. I recently ran out of usable chassis with
decent plastics and lids and I have just had a regular customer ask to quote
for some more spares to keep his systems going.

Hope that covers it.

I have a fair sized stack of bare bones ss5bs. They would be FTGH for
anyone who would pick them up (Illinois/Indiana, US), but I canbt imagine
overseas shipping makes any sense.

Peter, I think (!) I have an SS20 - that hasn't been used for quite a
while. The chassis is the old Aurora-1 chassis with slimline CDROM drive
bay and floppy-drive bay underneath (the Aurora-2 chassis used a
full-height CDROM bay and no floppy-drive bay). As I am in the Isle of Man,
I can get it to the UK quite easily.

Unfortunately, it is at my exes, so will take a week or so for me to
retrieve it, if it is still there (it was well hidden under a wall-fixed
corner-unit desk, but over the last 9 years might just have been removed -
we'll see).

Is equipped with some RAM, a CG6 (LEGO) SBus graphics card, 4x Sun CDROM
drive, a 2Gb SCA disk with aurora bracket, and (after all this time) a dead
NVRAM battery. Can't remember what CPUs it had, probably one or two SM61.

As I have not used it for at least 9 years, and and fully occupied with a
pair of SS10s instead, you should probably have it - better it serves a
useful purpose rather than just rotting away.

Let me know off-list if you might be interested, then I can retrieve it and
check out *exactly* what's in the box and how well it all works.

Hi Jon

Probably not too silly a price nowadays. I have no great interest in stocking
the 150s which are a large part of the value unfortunately. I was looking to
pay around B#100 for a base with no cpu or Nvram. Best I would offer would be
around B#150 for it with CPUs etc, but you should get good price for the 150s
on their own.

I am also happy to throw in an team from my stock to sweeten the deal depends
what you are interested in?

Let me know what you think?

Peter
