Amiga 1200 novice!!!

[andy4851]

Hi there,

I recently tried to recapture the feeling of being 13 years old playing sensible soccer so I bought an Amiga 1200.

I only got the keyboard unit, game and joystick. Can anyone please tell me what cables etc I may need to connect it to my television?

many thanks for your time and help

Kind regards

Andy

If you don't mind about picture quality, you could just use a standard composite cable to connect it to your tv. If you want a slightly better picture, you'll want to have an RGB-Scart cable. They are pretty common so I'm sure someone here can sell/give you one for a few pennies.

You could also try to find a Commodore 1084 monitor. Even those are still pretty easy to find and shouldn't set you back for more than 10 Euros.

Thanks very much for your input.

Got offered a RGB cable for £12 (circa 18Euros). Is this ok or am I getting stung?

Thanks once more

As long as it's definately an amiga->SCART cable..

If you're not sure, probably better off getting it from here:  http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=226&osCsid=dbf2d557f22e767dbdff93d1bfdecb25

It was stated.

I can tell you the picture will not be "slightly" better it will be far superior to any Video signal RGB is far better.

You will see a major difference for sure.

Got my cable and am loving playing sensible soccer from back in the day.

Many thanks to all for your comments, the cable was well worth it!
