Looking for Amiga 1200
« on: April 18, 2017, 08:36:57 PM »
Title says it all. Looking for an NTSC Amiga 1200, preferably in the U.S. I had an Amiga 600 but sold it recently. Still looking for that replacement 1200 from my youth.

PAL would work I suppose if the machine is in the U.S. (don't want to pay a fortune in shipping), has a U.S. 120v power supply, and the keyboard layout isn't too wacky. My A600 had a weird keyboard layout I could never get used to.

Dont limit yourself to an NTSC model. You can do NTSC just fine on a PAL unit. I do it all the time on my test unit I use. You would just be limited using composite is all, but who does that anyway.

I would also be more than happy to look it over and recap it for you if needed at just the cost for the recap service.


Oh you know I'm gonna get you to recap that bad boy.

Thought I'd be happy with the 600 but it just didn't do it for me. Guess I miss my 1200. Tried tracking down the one I owned but it has been passed on so many times I couldn't find it.

Last one I shipped to the US was around 40 GBP for postage.


Got any pics? I might be interested.

Thanks. I've got a recapped 1200 motherboard on the way. Now I'm just needing a working keyboard. Anybody got an extra laying around they are willing to part with?

You can probably still buy NOS keyboard/case combo at Vesalia.de.  I have bought many things from them in Germany, and they arrive here in the US in about 10 days.


Thanks. Checked but it looks like they are out of stock.

Keyboard found. Looks like my 1200 project is coming together.
