AmigaKit.com is a very reputable seller of all things errr Amiga!

Thats the UK store link, Im assuming youre in the UK but you havent filled out your profile.

They also have a US and European store.

Analogic have an ebay shop I believe, and usually have Amiga stuff for sale there...

Some guy recently paid through the nose for a "new old stock" A4000T from SoftHut. He was so excited he filmed himself taking it out of the box and put the video up on youtube. Turned out it was dead on arrival.

haha, no shit?

What are we gonna guess, capacitor leakage, or battery acid leakage? Atleast with the first kind of "my hardware is melting" you can rinse it off!

Capacitor leakage can eat traces too, and there's generally no "leakable" batteries in the 4000Ts (lithium cells.)

[Hell Labs]

Yeah, but aren't amiga boards comparatively simple, socketed chips, etc? I imagine you could replace damaged traces with some thin wire?

[tone007]

No, 600, 1200, 4000, 4000T are mostly SMT.  The damage is generally repairable, but not without some decent equipment.

[Hell Labs]

Ahh right. So the manufacturing process was something they actually did bother to keep current... good to know.

[ElPolloDiabl]

Escom finished the design and rolled out the A4000 tower. Wasn't in then Viscorp or quickpak still making them?

I bought my NOS A1200 from Analogic through their eBay shop a little while ago.

That was me.  Appears possible CPU board is bad.  Soft Hut is sending me a replacement.  Hope to know soon if that takes care of issue.

BTW, these A4000T they sell have a 6 month warranty, so, even though old new stock, we have protection with a decent warranty.  

I hope to have a running A4000T soon.  I am excited to start using it.  Even brand new systems have a DOA once in a while and shit happens.  These have been sitting for a very long time I am sure but Joe at Soft Hut is a decent guy and a good seller it appears and should be taking care of the issue as we speak.

So, am I still excited.  You bet I am.
