Thought the postage would be scary, weird that something from the US is cheaper.

Looking good from the photos, interesting how it has tanned LOL. Bubble and Squeak is still a good game, nostalgia is kicking in seeing it.

So worse option I'll be looking at $53, still okay with that. Let me know what you decide on how to pack it.

NZ post can be a pain too, US have it so much better.

@smerf interesting, I have the original PSU in a box so might give it ago. I don't think I'll give up on it, when it comes to Amiga hardware I keep on trying to get it working.

Not many around down here anymore.

Will try it tomorrow and let you know.

The current PSU is a 600W Thermaltake that I've been using with it for sometime. Did try another ATX PSU and it wont even turn on. Anyway will try the original :-)

So thanks to Gertsys generous offer I now have a 100% working A1200. Although as I've mentioned to Gertsy still have issues with the FastATA and Indi.

Without the FastATA installed powers up fine everytime, with it installed it's dead as in black screen.

This is a brand new FastATA too, so not sure what is up with that.

The Indi doesn't give me a display but a tiny grey screen with vertical lines now. Going to try reflashing the firmware on to, lucky I have a nice Amigamaniac svideo adapter so I can get a picture out ;-)

Busy weekend, attempting to refurb some alloy wheels too, deciding what putty to use. I've been googling a few solutions but trying to find black putty to hopefully half the work needed.

A shame I haven't had the time due to work and now being sent on a waste of time course but I'm itching to have more time to look into getting it all up and running.
But would love to update this thread with some good news, but will have to wait and see. :-(
