I'm enjoying your site and blog but can I ask you why your prices are so high?

Bro you are selling "untested"  CSA derringer for $250 us? You really dont think these prices are crazy? I dont know where you are getting this stuff from but i'm sure the markup is very high.

Quote from: AmigaBruno;771404
That's a very interesting site! I've been reading your blogs about building or restoring A2000s as well as the other models. Unfortunately, almost all of your stock is NTSC, but I'm in the UK. I do own a 1084D monitor, which I assume is compatible if I connect an NTSC Amiga via the RGBi or composite ports. Can anyone confirm this? The problem is that the vertical resolution would only be 200 or 400 instead of 256 or 512. The monitor controls allow NTSC type games screens to be adjusted to fill the screen, though.

Another issue is that the graphics chip in my PAL Amiga A1200 can be switched between PAL and NTSC. Don't NTSC A1200s and A4000s also have this facility? Can their graphics chips be exchanged for the PAL equivalents?
 

.


All amigas with 3.1 Roms allow you to enter early startup screen and Set PAL or NTSC. AFAIK all commodore monitors support both PAL and NTSC even the commodore 1702 monitors.
