500 QTY NOS A1200's

seuden · 13 July 2012, 14:08

Didn't know where to put this so it's here, please move if need be.

Has anyone contacted Petro T. Tyschtschenko or have any further info about the supposedly NOS A1200's that have been found? The Amiga.org forum is a bit sparse on info.

Ie. Is it actually true that these have been found? Where can we purchase one from?

Info on EAB seems even more sparse but surely this is massive news?

I heard something about this on AmiBay, however I found the discussed price point wasn't reflective of electrical goods that had been sitting for over 15 years.

Because of this I would sooner buy one from amigakit.co.uk or vesalia.de

seuden · 13 July 2012, 17:04

They don't have any NOS?

Zetr0 · 13 July 2012, 17:08

Could you imagine the state that some of those are going to be in.... with capacitors on the motherboard and the power-supply that have not been power-cycled in over 15 years!

Personally buying one that was NOS, would be asking for trouble if not shortly after having it.

seuden · 23 July 2012, 11:49

Not worried about the power supply and we can only assume about the capacitors can't we? Or is it inevitable that they're going to be damaged?

They done a study into it and could'nt proove either way.

I guess it should be okay as long as it's been stored in a good warehouse with okay temperature and humidity.

Zetr0 · 23 July 2012, 16:40

personally (for me) it wouldn't be worth the risk,

As far as manufactures go all recommend that SMT wet-ware electrolytic capacitors should be power cycled once every 3 years, or the electrolyte will begin to degrade the aluminium foil.

As I said I would rather have a known working / reworked unit from Amigakit - as they take all the - guess, assumptions and could be - out of the equation.

duga · 23 July 2012, 18:08

Well, I would expect a one year warranty if I bought it from a dealer.

kipper2k · 23 July 2012, 20:06

my question is, do these actually exist,? a lot of different opinions, i haven't seen any proof

keitha1200 · 24 July 2012, 00:24

Sounds like an urban myth or something

How could someone not miss a 150 Amigas sitting there in a warehouse for over 20 years!!

Sounds like something out of an Indiana Jones movie

This is what I'd really like to know.

Were they sold to his Facebook friends or something? I'd love to have an AT A1200 for the novelty factor (plus they stay white, yeah?)

Petro posted a picture of the A1200 magic pack on FB on june 12th. He said he would get 500 units soon...

I got this reaction (june 15th) from him when I asked him about it.

"Sofar I do not have any A 1200 Magic Pack received. As soon as I will receive the A 1200 Magic Pack I will write a procedure how to order and how to pay.. Please be patient.. Thank you soo much Best regards Petro"

In other messages he said we should wait for at least 8 weeks... so maybe we'll get some news soon.

He also said he has some A4000T's in his warehouse...

kriz · 07 August 2012, 02:35

Interesting to see for sure, add Petro ;

Jope · 07 August 2012, 09:09

Hmm, A4000Ts you say..

Bamiga2002 · 07 August 2012, 15:00

Wonder if there are any CSPPC's also in there

duga · 07 August 2012, 15:07

Why? Phase 5/DCE made CSPPC, not Amiga Inc/Tech.

Bamiga2002 · 07 August 2012, 15:34

Yes but the point was they'd still go sweet with A4000T's

DDNI · 07 August 2012, 17:38

Sounds like Petro is about to cash in a chunk of his retirement plan.
I hope he comes through with the goods and doesn't become yet another amigan full of empty promises.
