Description from the seller
Up for auction: a magnificent and complete retrocomputing system—the legendary Commodore Amiga 500.
A fundamental piece of computing history, offered in its original box and equipped with essential accessories and software.
The lot includes a highly sought-after original Commodore A501 memory expansion (512KB + RTC) housed in its original metal shield inside the trapdoor compartment. This brings the system's total memory to 1MB, a fundamental requirement to run most classic Amiga games and programs.
The lot includes exactly what is visible in the photo:
• Computer: Commodore Amiga 500 (QWERTY keyboard layout, Made in W.-Germany, Serial No. 1340193). Expansion ports intact and free of rust.
• Expansion: Original Commodore A501 RAM module (additional 512KB) installed in the lower compartment (metal shield and plastic flip cover included).
• Power supply: Original Commodore "Heavy brick" (Made in W.-Germany).
• Mouse: Original Commodore Amiga "Tank Mouse".
• Software (Original Floppy Disks): Workbench 1.3.2, Extras 1.3 / Basic 1.2, Primi Passi (Italian version), Amiga Appetizer (Gold Disk).
• Cables: Video cable included.
• Packaging: Original cardboard box (shows signs of aging, but the internal protective foam is present).
The computer has been tested: plugged in to power, the system powers on regularly and receives current.
The machine has never been tampered with recently: it needs a nice cosmetic cleaning, an internal dusting, and the classic routine check-up.
The case and keys show the typical natural yellowing of the era's ABS flame-retardant plastics (easily resolved with a Retr0bright treatment).
Important note for collectors: Being an original A501 expansion never opened recently, it most likely contains the original cylinder-style battery (VARTA) for the internal clock. Buyers are strongly advised to inspect/remove the battery before heavy use to preserve the board over time.
An exceptionally complete lot. Careful, tracked shipping with super-protective packaging to preserve the original box.
