WTB: Amiga 1200
« on: April 19, 2007, 09:47:07 AM »
Hi everyone,
I used amiga for about 10 years and was a contributor to Aminet and the demo scene over the years. I've gotten that itch again and I want to put together an amiga system.

I'm living in Japan so it's quite hard to find an A1200 within the country. If you're in the country and have one, please let me know. Also, as I'm close to Australia that might work well too.

Basically I just want a stock A1200 (HDD and/or LAN a bonus) for around $200. I've seen an online shop offering one with HDD and PCMCIA LAN for $196 but that's with an incompatible psu (european psu when I need US type) and without shipping. Also, I'm guessing the euro A1200's have scart instead of a US-compatible video output.

I would also be interested in a more powerful system and would pay pretty equivalently to what I'm seeing them go for in UK shops, etc. Accelerator cards and such wouldn't be that big of a shipping deal though, so just getting a cheap stock A1200 is fine, although getting everything I want and need in one shot would also be good.

If someone could help me out or point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
ruina

Hi McVenco,
Thanks for your reply.

Would hooking a US PSU up to a Euro amiga work? I'm assuming so, but I want to make sure I'm getting something I can actually use.

I think what I would do is modify an American PC PSU to work on the A1200. So, I would just need the A1200 connector and wire from the PSU you have.
