I was under the impression that various retailers still had A1200 Magic Packs available. I'd love to see NOS big-box Amigas, but I suppose that's not likely  :-(


Very unlikely. My find of A500s were likely original intended for export to South America. Big Box Amigas wouldn't have been a big export item. :-(

Here's a picture of it being tested right after I changed the rom.

When Commodore got Amigas that were returned as faulty they would repair whatever was faulty (if there was a legitimate problem) and then stamp refurbished on the bottom of the case. Then they would take the Amiga, put it in a new box with new mouse, power supply, books etc. The only thing to distinguish a refurbished model from a new one is the refurbished stamp.

-Edit- Basically everything is new but the motherboard.

Grrrrreat! :-D  I gotta keep you guys happy! A happy customer is a repeat customer :-D

Thanks again!!
