WTB: Amiga 1200 power supply and Midi interface.
« on: January 29, 2011, 06:22:35 PM »
Hey folks,

Does anyone in the US have a power supply for an A1200 that they would like to sell me?. An A500 one would work as well (even better).

I'm also looking for a Midi interface.

Both of these seem kind of rare even on ebay. Most of the time you have to buy a bundle of stuff you don't need to get them!

My soldering skills are mostly non-existent!. I struggle to re-solder the wiring in my guitar!

It looks like TheGoose has a Midi interface for me!. It turns out that it's one I gave him years ago that he's not using.

Still looking for a PS though.........

Sure that sounds great Franko!. I think I actually have a UK-to US power converter here somewhere. Any idea what the shipping might cost?

I've got another couple of A1200s arriving this week (hopefully) so once I've checked them out (I'm only after the mother boards & keyboards) I should have a spare one you could have for free if your willing to pay the P&P... :)

Thanks for the heads up Franko!

I sent a PM to see if shipping to the US was possible.

@ SpiHunter

Maybe this would be a better option for you PSU $30 including delivery...

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=56261

Just took delivery of one of the A1200s I bought on ebay a few days ago, boy was it manky but it's fully working and had an 80MB HD, 4MB Fast Ram expansion & an EyeTech 4 Way buffered IDE interface which the seller didn't mention, first bargain I've got on ebay only £56... :)

Hopefully I should receive the other two in the next couple of days and once I've checked them out I'll send you a PSU if you still need one, but the postage may be quite expensive shipping all the way from Scotland, that's why I thought the above link may be a better option for you... :)

(finally found a use for an old MC68882 chip I had lying around it fits on the ram board... :))

Well, the shipping from AUS to the US is going to be $40 so I'm not going to buy the one from the other thread. Amikit has a 300W one that is meant for a tower conversion that I could use. It wouldn't look very nice sitting on the desk but it would work?.

I actually have a UK 1200 power supply lying around too. Thing is.. I can't test it, so I have no idea if it works or not. But if you need another option, its yours for whatever shipping the damn thing would cost. Might be a little cheaper than from the UK.
 
You can also get more powerful ones from amigakit, in US configuration.

OK, I finally said "screw it" and ordered the 300W one from Amikit. At least I won't have to worry about maxing out the power on it even if it is ugly!

Thats what I use for my 1200. It works great, though its ugly as sin :)
 
If you are seriously expanding it, it'll certainly give you enough juice.
