Title: A1200 Power and Video
Post by: jay_l_a on June 05, 2009, 02:31:52 AM

Hi,
I have 2 questions I’m hoping someone can help me with, one power related, one video output related.

I have an Amiga 1200 from the UK. I now reside in the USA. I need to find somewhere that sells a US power supply for the Amiga, as I left the UK power supply in the UK. Does anybody know where I can buy one? I‘m hoping ebay isn’t my only option here.

Secondly, once I can power up the machine, I’m going to need to connect it to a tv or preferably a monitor. I have the original RF modulator, but I’m assuming it outputs the wrong refresh rate for a US tv.
Ideally I’d like to connect to a monitor. Is there a way to do this, or am I going to run into horizontal refresh rate problems?

Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
J

Get your hands on an AT power supply from a 2nd hand computer store. It's easy to convert it to a A1200 power supply. Unfortunately you will also need the proper PSU plug. I imagine you could hack one together, someone else might help
