I saw this the other day on Amibay. Now there's a hunk of metal for your A1000!  I'd normally be all over this, but the state it's in and cost are too prohibitive right now  :(

These were trouble from the day they were released.  I think they started out life as "non working"

Close - that is a Turbo Amiga Box, not Tower. I used to have one of the Tower units.

I think this is just a bit weird. And I never knew about it either. I think; Bigfoot, Stonehenge, oh yeah and the freaky A1000 Tower. That said pretty cool they included a power outlet to hook up your favorite lamp and toaster.

Yes. The one I had came from WordPerfect in Utah. It was apparently one of the systems they used to develop WordPerfect for the Amiga. That tower still in the area.

I saw one at (I believe) a WAC meeting back in 1988. It was really expensive back then!
I just found a review on the tower version in Amazing Computing Volume 2, #7.
Wish I could afford one today...

Here's a picture of the box and the tower plugged into the side of an A1000

I had a few interested parties. However, the deals did not go through so it is back up for sale for $300+shipping and it is the Cube not the tower.

Since no takes since June, when I posted it, I am working on fixing it up. Probably, keep it since I am spending so much time fixing it. :)
