Muzz73 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hello, all... A friend of mine has come into a Falcon system in a tower case with the some sort of 68060 upgrade board (one that wouldn't fit into the original Falcon case, if I understand it correctly). He's actually hoping that there is someone out there with a working, mostly stock NTSC Falcon who would be willing to trade straight across for it. Upgraded RAM, HDD and the "audio fix" are OK, but he wants the case to be stock (no holes drilled in it from upgrades), the keyboard to be original and everything in good working order/good cosmetic shape. I am not completely sure of the specs. on this thing, but I know it's pretty beefy and I can get them if necessary. We are located in central California (USA) and would prefer someone within driving distance (this thing is bulky and heavy), but shipping arrangements can be made if need be. PM me if interested.

Dal_1978 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Sounds like he has a CT60 in there. If I was him, I'd hang on to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz73 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 He's not into it. He acquired it for his "Computer Museum" that he will be setting up in his house, so he'd rather have one that looks stock, as opposed to this one, which looks like a PC.

Muzz73 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 OK... I have asked my friend to provide pics (inside, outside, on and off) and specs. He's hoping to have that stuff ready perhaps this weekend. I seem to remember hearing that it was a CT60 machine @ 66MHz(?), but I don't remember how much RAM, size of the HDD, or if any other tweaks that have been done to it. It has a MegaSTE/TT030 keyboard. I'll post more as soon as I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz73 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Greetings, all... Just a quick update; we will try to have photos next weekend. My friend acquired this Falcon in a trade and knows nothing about it. He (apparently) needs my help in hooking it up, and he's a 2.5 hour drive from me, so it is less than convenient for either of us. I appreciate your patience and will post pics as soon as I have some (again, hopefully next weekend). Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz73 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) OK, here are some pics of the system NOT hooked up (we'll be doing that on Sunday, so we can get photos of it running). https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1057260260951282&set=a.1057260240951284.1073741831.100000019541825&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1057260277617947&set=a.1057260240951284.1073741831.100000019541825&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1057260270951281&set=a.1057260240951284.1073741831.100000019541825&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1057260347617940&set=a.1057260240951284.1073741831.100000019541825&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1057260350951273&set=a.1057260240951284.1073741831.100000019541825&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1057260370951271&set=a.1057260240951284.1073741831.100000019541825&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1057260434284598&set=a.1057260240951284.1073741831.100000019541825&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1057260427617932&set=a.1057260240951284.1073741831.100000019541825&type=3&theater More pics this weekend...

Muzz73 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Sorry about that... the album defaulted to private. It's now public and should be open to everyone. If it's not, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz73 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Bad news... we hooked the Falcon up and got no picture on the screen. He's having someone look at it now. If anyone might still be interested, please watch for updates and PM me accordingly. I'm sorry this is not going the way we had all planned. Thanks!

rustynutt Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Is the tower Falcon still available? I'm more or less within driving distance. 93555 zip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz73 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 An update to all: it looks like we have a few broken wires, which is minor. Again, I'll keep you all informed as things change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
