Title: Where can I buy a decent new scan doubler / flicker fixer for my A1200 NTSC?
Post by: TommyMc on June 05, 2007, 10:14:09 PM
I've been trying to get ahold of a decent flicket fixer / scan doubler for a little while now.  I've missed out on a few ebay auctions, and currently there are none to be had even at Ebay.  All of the Amiga hardware dealer sites I've visted are either gone/under constructions/or no longer sell a external flicker fixers / scan doublers.   Anyone have any leads on where to buy a decent new one?

nothing wrong with a  shameless plug.  thats a good scan doubler, the only one better is the internal one!  Those work with 1200 and 4000s .

The only place I know is http://www.amigis.nl . They have two internal scandoublers for the A1200.

It's a dutch site though! I bought one a few weeks ago. They have more Amiga stuff, but I don't know if they deliver abroad.

You could also use a SCART/Composite -> VGA box which is effectively a ScanDoubler. Not specifically made for the Amiga, but much cheaper than a ScanDoubler.

Someone should start producing cheap external scandoublers.  They would make a lot of money.

What monitor do you intend to use it with? (Make/Model)

What do you want to do with your Amiga once connected to said monitor? (Play games, use Workbench, browse the net?)

Do you care that it is only 16-bit and not 24-bit? (You wont see as many colours as you should in AGA modes).

How much do you want to spend?

No they wouldnt. They would be lucky to make their NRE back.
