I might just have the spare parts you need!
Firstly, I have an old 520STfm (or STe)sitting in the attic that is waiting for a rainy day, or someone in desperate need of it. There are the following parts.
A case. It's nice to think of an Atari OTHER than a 2600 Console, clad in wood. You might be able to cram some of those upgrades you require under that bonnet, if not then atleast you can use the base. A friend of mine just uses it without the cover (dust is a problem, but overheating isn't)
A motherboard. I doubt that this will make any difference, other than perhaps a later or earlier version of TOS, and some spare chips. Another 520k in SIMMS can't hurt... (if you fry them - pardon the pun)
A PSU!!! Et voila, the necessary!
And last but not least, a Keyboard minus 1 TAB key, as I stole it, cut it to size to repair the underside of an Amstrad CPC6128 key that broke. Worked a treat!(The sHaMe of it!)
All this, and I'm in the UK. So, pay P&P and it's all yours. What no cost? Nope, I've had several people (Shalroth / Fats Rakoon & Flash to name but a few) do ME some favours recently, and I'd like to do the same for someone else. I currently feel like Pricilla Black might just burst into song, so just drop me a line, pay the P&P (Probably no more than £3.00) and I'll send this wingless bird to ya...
