hopefully will get an A1200 sent via surface mail from england next week but have to wait 3 months
Hey man... Does your A1200 coming from England?
Remember it was set to PAL TV Standard, and Japan uses NTSC standard...
As I am living in Europe I don't know if England uses 220Volts power supply while japan uses 220V too...
...Or if Japan is aligned with United States and uses 110V power standard supply as in USA...
Check this facts before using european Amiga there in Japan...
Solutions:
1) At least you must buy a transformer supply for keeping 110V in input and upgrade it in output to 220V and use Japan energy facilities.
This will allow you continuing using your european Amiga power supply, without the necessity to purchase one from Japan or United States...
2) Also interstandard TV sets are very common in Japan (either CRT [Cathode Tube] or Modern LCD ones)
Amiga viewed on LCD screen it is better and sure LCD supports interstandard TV standards..
Also LCD could have VGA input...
If your Amiga 1200 it is put in a tower and has Graphical Card too, then you could see either Amiga TV, and graphic Card outputs using just only one LCD TV set.
Sayonara... :-D
