Check here for old messages about the Petro: 500 units new Amiga 1200 Magic Pack (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=61870).

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.

Anyone else get a bounce when trying to send a mail to a1200magic@gmail.com?

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.
-
Why is he signing them at all? It's like having the kid at the ticket booth sign your movie poster.

Hrmmmm... I actually don't recall it bouncing, but, yeah...

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).

I received via amiga1200magic@gmail.com many orders for JUNE delivery.. Thank you.. I will continuing my NONE PROFIT PROJECT for the Amiga Community. Please understand that I can not answer each mail. But please be sure that I have printed out all orders when the full adress was shown and reserved the A1200 Magic. As soon as I will receive the shippment I will issue the invoice and please TT the funds than and do not cancel the order as many have done this last time and create for me a lot of headage and pain.. I am alone on this project and make no money.
-
Awesome. 500 Amiga 1200 units should bring in a niece chunk of money.
What "NONE PROFIT PROJECT for the Amiga Community" is he talking about? I haven't been following his Facebook page.

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!
:cool:
-

These don't sound like they are all in mint condition.
-
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!
-

Maybe the theatre manager.
-
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.

Hi,
I sent him an email, did he get back to you guys immediately to confirm the items were still available?
Cheers,

Well, I've sent my order/email today. Hope I'm not too late. Did you get your reply rabindranath ?

I think he sold them all, at least thats what he said on FB. If some1 doesnt pay you still could get it.
-
I find the "Petro Signature" kind of ha-ha funny. Engineer? nope! Designer? Nope! Programmer? Nope! Sales-guy from after C= died? Yep!
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.

This is so true! :D:laughing:
Just a way to make people feel special, I would preffer him to sell cheaper and all clean!
-
Yeah, I missed out on the 1st batch, but am hoping to get one mint condition AGA beast on the 2nd. Fingers crossed.
-
Dude! Oh, and Dudettes!
His signature wipes off both the case and box. He could have used a wood burning pen if he was serious.
-
What are these going for and do you know if he ships to the USA? I can't read German as I only took 1/2 year of it in 8th grade :)
-

No reply; which hopefully bodes well? Did you get a reply?

Well I am in a pretty good condition, if I do say so myself :D
-

Yeah, stating all A1200s have been reserved. I missed that train allrite. But, on a new post on fb he talks about a possibility of a second June batch after this one ... so, all hope is not yet lost.
-
I got a reply, I'll get my first Amiga :banana::biglaugh:
-
Cool ! Pics when it arrives ! :)
-
Yes, why hasn't anyone submitted pics of these NOS A1200's? All I saw was a few with the signature. We want pics!

They really are in top condition, so anyone planning to buy one should not have any doubts.

I see you got a 1D4 Rev board too! :cool:
-
Yup, I think it's the most common one :)
And I see you also got an Amiga with two blank keys :D Frankly, that was a surprise for me...

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.

* BUMP *
Anyone got their June 2013 batch Amiga? Or at least was contacted by Petro for payment details?
Cheers,
Antonio
-
@rabindranath7: ask him by mail.
-
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?
-
Bank transfer is the only option which is a shame because it added quite a lot if extra expense and dicking around for me!
-
I tried to contact Petro, but I got no answer. I am getting slightly nervous; has anyone received an email asking for payment for the June batch?
-
Is he recorded your request on the waiting list?
-

Three requests, not a single answer. I'm probably not going to get one.
-

Got a return mail from Petro saying that i've been registered on 10th of June. No invoice yet.
-

Sure he sent me an email saying I was registered (end of May). But we are in July now, and still no info. Hence I was curious whether others had received the payment request.

Just for your information, the 3rd batch of A1200 Magic was postponed a little bit and Petro should receive it on 20 of July as stated on Facebook.

But that Facebook message seems to refer to the July batch, not the June batch.

WHY THE EFF DOES ALL AMIGA HARDWARE HAVE TO BE ABLE IN "BATCHES" AND NO ONE KNOWS WHATS UP.
sux
Even Petro one of the saviors of amiga makes amigans w8t haaha
-
But that Facebook message seems to refer to the July batch, not the June batch.
May 31:
"Sorry, the delivery for all ordered A1200 Magic Packs will be delayed for a couple of weeks. Delivery will follow in July.. Regards Petro"
June 11:
"There is a third batch in transit of A1200 Magic Pack, arriving ion July... you can still order through amiga1200magic|@gmail.com.....
Best regards Petro"
June 17:
"Please be informed that I will receive on 20 July a 3rd batch of A1200 Magic. This will be again a NONE PROFOT PROJECT for my beloved Amiga community.. It is pain and hardshhip for me, but I deceided to doo it again.. Pricing are the same as the last two times.. Base price is 150 Euro plus DHL Freight, plus packaging.. You can only order with your full adress via amiga1200magic@gmail.com"
All the information is about the 3rd batch, there is no other batch in transit at the moment.
-
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.
-
I sent him an email yesterday asking when is he planing to release invoices to registered users, just so that I can plan my financials in the following few weeks, but got no reply whatsoever. An invoice would be nice.

Open an xe.com trade account. Fairly painless, and bank transfers are really cheap.

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!
