Analogic (UK) are selling new (NOS) Amiga 1200s on Ebay

Analogic (UK) are selling new (NOS) Amiga 1200s on Ebay.

They are selling them, factory sealed, with Swedish keyboards (you can ask for UK keyboard) with various HDD options.

Analogic A1200s on Ebay

I am pretty tempted. They are a fair price and probably the last NOS A1200 we will ever see!  :-)

Caveat emptor

Although the EBay comments seem pretty sound.

I bet Analogic have a lot of goodies in that building, they have been repairing Amiga's since the A500 days. (Ahh a repair company that has a picture of an A500 being arc welded is a repair company I wana use ;-) )
I bet they have some nice AGA chipset sets hanging around, and even a lot of "dead" A1200's and 4000's.

Ah humm! Yes, now I remember this thread. I sent an A4000 to them for a battery replacement and didn't have any trouble - but some of those stories certainly do put you off!

@Amigakit

Interesting, I will keep an eye!
bty - where are these NOS 1200s coming from? Don't the Indians want them any more? :-)

LOL. I actually considered buying one until I noticed shipping  to "Europe" is 70 UKP! That's about a 100 euros. I can probably travel to the UK and back for that amount.  :-D

Edit: @Colani1200, you beat me to it.  ;-)

They dont want to sell to Europe (they probably created their Auction wrong) and this is just to put off people who want to buy from Europe.

Hmm... I can't think of any good reason why one should not want to, but anyway...  :roll:

Be very, very careful with Analogic....

I bought an 060 accelerator from them a few years back after being told they had them in stock.  Two weeks later I phoned to chase the order and was told I was being upgraded to the all singing 66mhz CPU because I'd been waiting a while.

Anyway the card turned up dirty and non-functional.  They promised me a courier was on it's way to collect the card but they never turned up.  In the end, after four phone calls I sent the package back myself.

A few days later the (now cleaned) accelerator returned and this time my A1200 booted.  However, frequent crashing led me to check the CPU - which was a 68060EC.  I phoned and asked if the card had the MMU and FPU fitted (which I expressly specified in my original order) and was told that all 68060s were supplied as such, and that Motorola had mis-labelled a batch of CPUs.  

I ran a diagnostic program and lo - no MMU or FPU, which rendered my 68060 useless.  

I phoned Analogic and asked them to take the card back as it was not what I ordered.  The promised courier failed to materialise and again I had to fund postage costs.  I demanded my money back, which to be fair only took five days to materialise.

In short, they sold me faulty goods in poor condition, lied to me on three occasions about the spec and tried to fob me off with promises to collect the card by courier.  It was only afterward that they claimed the card worked perfectly with them so therefore was not faulty and as a result would not honour postage costs.  Mentions of contacting Trading Standards was met with very terse language.

I cannot emphasise this strongly enough:

BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN DEALING WITH ANALOGIC

Give them no room to maneouver, DO NOT under any circumstances send a complete system to them for repairs (they have been alleged to swap people's hard drives over for lower specced units) and make sure that the spec you order is exactly what you get.  Test it thoroughly and be prepared for a long fight if anything is faulty.

Pain of posting it abroad, international postage insurance, international warranty etc.

I wouldnt sell anything to someone in Europe via auction... too much like hard work.

Do you know if any of them will be NTSC with US power supplies?

Thanks!
