Some time ago I was considering buying one of those YUV to VGA converter cards for the Amstrad, but I backed off because I had to buy the cables, connectors,... solder them,....and  the price went up. In addition, the result did not seem very promising. I finally found a CTM 644 for a cheap price (it was before the pandemic)
And now, I just saw this on Ebay:

and in the photo the quality seems acceptable.
Is for olds monitors (SVGA or VGA) at 15kz

That's just a pinout converter, nothing more than a cable in PCB form. It doesn't manipulate the signal in any way, it just converts the CPC socket to a VGA socket.

This is just a simple, passive adapter. You will still need a compatible 15KHz VGA monitor. Not many are compatible and those that are, often don't have a great display quality. If you look for a small LCD it's simpler and less expensive to go for a used 15" LCD TV with SCART input and use the normal SCART cable.

Bad times. He has already had to sell all his clothes, and now even the CPC is up for grabs.

Only the beauty of nudity can be compared with the elegance of an Amstrad.

Not my listing, but someone in North Shields, UK is selling a working 664 (with possible keyboard issue) and 6128. Currently a bargain.

Whoever paid that amount must have real Sonic GX fever @norecess464 ;)

Honestly, this is outrageous for so many different reasons. This is not representative to the community that I love and enjoy. Those 2 guys (both the seller and the buyer) live in a separate world... with big pockets, apparently.

Did we all forget the 3" disks we all exchanged (for free, for fun) at school when we were 9? Where did that state of mind go? :'(

True.
We still do that in our team.

Three guys. There's somebody out there who is prepared to pay £400 for a C4CPC and still missed out.

I need to hustle and import a GX4000 for myself sometime soon as the word is clearly out that the GX is worth having and there's not a lot to go around. The number of working machines is never going to grow, so surely we can hope that one day the supply of flash carts will rise to meet the demand.

This was a really heavy duty CPC - perhaps someone should archive those pictures
