This is a testing the water kind of post I'm afraid. If I get a sensible offer for the whole bundle, I'll sell. I'm NOT interested in splitting however. If there's something you want, buy the whole lot and flog what you don't want wink If there's not much interest, I'll keep the old girl and use her in the house.

So, the list...

  • Empeg/Rio Mark 2a in excellent condition
  • 2x 32GB Solid State drives fitted
  • Lit buttons mod
  • Mark Lord Dock (painted black)
  • Pcats FM/AM radio module
  • Blue 'Empeg' padded bag
  • Full set of translucent buttons
  • All the colours of the rainbow lenses (literally dozens of them)
  • Original US power supply and aftermarket UK one too
  • Some extra RAM that I never fitted
  • 2x Rio remotes
  • Black sled/original silver sled
  • 40GB IDE drive & 10GB IDE drive left over from SSD upgrade
  • Boxed with original manual, CD, USB cable, Spare IDE cable (serial cable supplied, not pictured)

Are the SSDs regular PATA? 2.5", or 1.8" ??

Edit: Duh.. just looked closer at the images now.
They are 2.5" PATA. Cool. Hard to find, those are!

Thanks.

I'd definitely be keen, but with all the extras I'm pretty sure this is out of my price range.

I've been thinking about this carefully and have decided not to part with any of the 'peg related stuff or the unit itself. I've realised that I'm just too attached to the bloody thing to see it go.

Thanks for the interest.

OK, I've decided that this lot is definitely for sale, no going back now. I'd need to partly destroy the dash in my new car, so I'm not going to fit the old girl.

There'll be a bundle for sale and a couple of single items as I realise that as a complete lot, this adds up to a fair chunk. All prices are in GBP and include delivery within the UK. International postage will be extra at cost (I'll work it out as I go).

  • Empeg/Rio Mark 2a in excellent condition
  • 2x 32GB Solid State drives fitted
  • Lit buttons mod
  • Full set of translucent buttons
  • All the colours of the rainbow lenses (literally dozens of them)
  • Original US power supply and aftermarket UK one too
  • Some extra RAM that I never fitted
  • 2x Rio remotes
  • Black sled/original silver sled
  • 40GB IDE drive & 10GB IDE drive left over from SSD upgrade
  • Boxed with original manual, CD, USB cable, Spare IDE cable (serial cable supplied, not pictured)
  • £250 ono

  • Mark Lord Dock (with serial) (painted black)
  • £100 ono

  • Pcats FM/AM radio module
  • £75 ono

  • Blue 'Empeg' padded bag
  • £25 ono

Oh, I want it.. Just can't be spending the money on it right now. I have other things that need to be fixed. (sigh)

How nice it would look on my stereo too.

Oh yes.. I've thought of it...

(sob sob)
