The Amiga 500 was the second Amiga machine produced, after the Amiga 1000. The 500 was an all-in-one design that needed only an external display to be useful.
The Amiga 500 in my collection came in its original box. The box is a bit beaten up, but still shows off the graphics nicely.
The contents are fairly complete with the full styrofoam and the manual. Unfortunately the unit lost a function key along the way which will have to be replaced.
