Title: WTB working Amiga 1200
Post by: Chartus on March 03, 2011, 10:32:03 PM

I am looking for a good A1200 to puchase or swap for parts.

What I have.

New Indivision ECS scandoubler.  --was installed in A600
A603 1meg  memory card     -------fits in A600 trapdoor slot
V3.1 kickstart chip  --------------- installed in A600
2 meg PCMCIA Sram card----------used with A600


This was used in my A600 that just bit the dust.  I would like to trade it for a working 1200.  If you are not interested in the above but have a 1200 to sell I would be interested.

U.S.A. only though.  I don't want to ship overseas.  Thank You for looking.

There are a few up on Amibay as well.  If nathanieltolbert has any for sale over there at the moment, do not hesitate to buy one from him.  I bought my A4000 from him and it is impeccable.

Shameless plug, but he really will go the extra mile.

EDIT:  that ebay one is pretty sweet as well!  Good luck :)

Wow... $299.95 (about £183) that would only get about £90 to £110 (max) here in the UK, and yet I've noticed just this week that a Blizzard PPC board on the US eBay sold for only £248 but here in the UK that board would have sold for at least £400... :)

Are A1200 rare in the USA and BPPC plentiful ???

Amiga gear is typically super expensive here in Australia. There was a 160mhz 603e/25 mhz '040 bppc that was at $600 with 7 hours to go (I missed the final price). That about $610 USD for the 2nd weakest bppc available (175mhz 603e/25mhz '040 being the weakest despite the clock speeds). Sod that, I love my amiga, but that's just crazy money for something that adds less than an '060 card to an os3.x system and is too slow for a more "modern" system like os4.x/mos. I payed 130 euro for my bppc card some years ago and even that I had to umm and aah about.

Ya'll have all the fun over ther in the UK.  Across the pond we have to make do with old broken down amigas that we have to try to fix.

Speaking of fixing;  I think I will  try to fix my ailing A600 again.  Them AGA indivisions are a little too expensive for me right now.
