EDIT: No longer available - thanks.
I have an Amiga 4000 Video Toaster that I picked a while back with the intention of getting it going. I never have, and thought I'd see if there was any interest in it before I eBay it.

It powers on, but I don't have the necessary monitor, keyboard or mouse, so I'm not certain if it boots, or if there's anything to boot to. For those reasons, I'd consider it a repair job or parts box.

I'm far from the Amiga expert. so I'll post a few photos so you can look and judge for yourself. If you need to see anything else or have questions - post 'em or PM me.

The slots are Zorro3 (Amiga proprietary bus) and ISA on the other end (for a few ISA cards that there were drivers for).
Actually Amiga 2000 and Amiga 4000 were the worst looking Amigas as Commodore used the skins of their current at the time PC line (kinda like what SGI did with Fuel).
For cool-looking Amigas you'd need to look at Amiga 1000 and Amiga 3000 (my favourite design - a bit like NEXT workstation except in beige).
