I hope he doesn't sign all the cases. At least he could sign them at the bottom instead of the front.

As long as he doesn't sign them with a hot soldering iron.

You can ask him to sign on the bottom like I did and he did just that.

That's right, he did it for me also :)
It actually looks very cool to have the signature on the trapdoor plate.

I asked him to sign the Bottom of mine and he signed the Top. It would have been really great to have the underneath signed but the top is unacceptable imo. :(

Luckily isopropyl alcohol easily removed it from the top of the case.

I wonder if these will come with software and manuals missing from the last batch. I'll be a little annoyed if they do because I paid full price for mine under the impression they were the last and he was not able to get the software packs....

I bought one of those from BugPic and had to buy both the manuals and Magic Pack to fill it out properly. Plus the box was smooshed and had mold growing on it. Some bleach and IPA removed most of it (with Petro's signature, oops).

Petro is German, it's his way of saying "not for profit", as in he's doing this for the Amiga community, not to make some extra Cash.

Im personally very grateful, I wouldnt own a mint a1200 if it weren't for him!

Well they are brand spanking new, sure the box isn't in perfect condition and the cables have a residue that needs to be wiped off but the a1200 itself is 100% mint condition!

Petro was a big player in C= Europe and helped negotiate several of the rescue deals so he's partly responsible for the AmigaTech a1200's existing at all.

That's like me buying a signature edition car from my dealer - with the signature of the guy who drove it off the transport truck.

I thought the condition was acceptable considering they sat in India for years and had been shipped all over the world. I'm pretty fussy, but all things considered I wasn't expecting perfection.

Mine didn't have the poly inserts or the books, but the box was in fairly good shape, and the computer itself was absolutely mint and unused. I thought I spotted a leaked capacitor on the motherboard (which also looks new), but it just turned out to be my flaky vision. It booted up and ran some demos from floppy just fine.

Many folk got the newer MB revision which is a lot harder to apply timing fixes to.

lol, yeah im guessing it was a commodore cost cutting measure allowing them to make 1 physical keyboard and just change the key-caps to suit the region.

I was surprised(not sure why) but Petro has been extremely responsive when I've emailed him. Sometimes he sent me an email right away...other times it took a few days. He responded to all of my emails though and I am patiently counting my pennies.

Quick question to those that have received their NOS 1200...How was payment worked out? Paypal or Bank Transfer? Did you have a choice?

OK I am confused. This thread was about the June batch, which as far as I can see, was the 2nd batch of Amigas, and is the one for which I got confirmation. I suppose the 31 May message refers to the June batch, since I got confirmation before that date; the next messages clearly refer to a 3rd batch.

The problem I had was that Petro's bank charges a fee to receive the money and there is no way for your bank to know how much that is!
