This is a one-owner Amiga 3000 in excellent conditionHARDWARE25MHz 68030 CPU
6MB RAM - 2MB chip / 4MB fast
ECS chipset50MB Hard driveThe case has a low serial number 0000179. However, not long after buying this machine, I sent it in for a warranty repair... and it came back with more Fast RAM than it had when I sent it out. The motherboard had likely been swapped rather than repaired. I did not remove the drive bays when photographing the motherboard prior to packaging this for selling, so I cannot definitively confirm the motherboard revision. Nonetheless, I believe this is a Revision 9 motherboard based on the vertical silkscreen of "PAULA" alongside the Paula chip, as well as date codes of 5291 for Paula and 4591 for Denise.I removed the battery in 2007. As shown in the motherboard photos there is no visible damage in the battery area.
No other modifications have been made. The original Quantum 50MB SCSI drive is present, original factory capacitors are untouched, the case has the original beige-painted side screws and washers, and the baggie with hardware for an optional second floppy is still where the factory placed it inside the case.

KNOWN FLAWS
The stem and spring for the caps lock key is missing, but the underlying switch is fine and the keycap is intact (see photo). Other than a scratch in the paint at the top of the case, the system is clean and in excellent condition. The keyboard shows moderate yellowing, but the tank mouse and main case have very little yellowing.
No monitor is included in this package. Monitors in the photos are for demonstration purposes only.
