To say I am wee'd off is an understatement! I am now assuming this unit might be faulty. It just looks like I was rooked :(

EDIT: Rust under the keyboard, memory cover has been removed and put back. RF screw is almost out of its hole thing. Case is not even signed!

I'm afraid I have no idea who or what Petro is, so this is going over my head a bit... Sounds like a raw deal, at any rate - I hope you can get it sorted out!

Petro Tyschtschenko. I have genuine Power Service paperwork here aswell.

I am starting to feel like I was rooked by somebody. The whole thing checked out beforehand, checked all the companies details aswell.

EDIT: Just sussed out the picture of the A1200 they sent me turns out to be laid out exactly the same as one sold to somebody else over at amiga.org but taken at a different angle. I can live with a cruddy box and missing bits but not a scabby a1200 that looks no better than what I have here. Wishing I never bothered now.

EDIT2: Looks like somebody else has the same snags as me over at Amiga.org. They have a few more issue's than me tho! Cracked psu on top of the same luck I had. I will stop moaning aswell as I am ruining this thread :(

That sucks EB, mine from Petro was perfectly mint. :(

Yes it sucks big time! Sucks even more as there is no comeback by the looks of it so im shafted. I will be forced to sink some money into it, make sure it works 100% and will probably shift it on. Sounds bad but if I make sure the caps are ok, new keyboard and some fresh screws should mean its ok. It has left a bad taste in my mouth and I will not be buying nos amiga's again.

Why don't you contact him?

If It's clearly not NOS then it could be an error on his part and not deliberate.

I have emailed him. Pains me as I dont want to annoy the bloke but I am just not happy with what I got! I knew 100% the box and other bits werent going to be perfect but I was expecting the amiga itself to be good condition wise.

Have not told the missus yet! She will do her nut lol.

Give Petro a chance to sort it out, his dealings with the community have been above board to date and I would expect him redress the situation.

I did have a psu included and mouse and component cable.
However the cables are dirty brown with whatever is on there, like most of also had. Mouse it self is pretty white, so I could solder another lead to it.
Also included was a pack of 3.1 original disks.

Unless someone knows how to get that brown stuff off, the psu will fly into the container very soon.

I really don't care about the box, it's nice to have a good box, and I do have a perfect one, but as soon as I have my own place, I will frame the front of the boxes.

I get the appeal of having a boxed edition, but use or lose it as they would say :-D

I'm happy it hasn't got any damage, the only thing is that the floppy drive wasn't working, but I guess it didn't have the Escom fix, but no worries as I said to Petro, I even had the exact same drive as spare around.

It's really white and inside is a 1D4 board, which looks new, even after 3 hours sitting idle in Workbench I didn't see any caps looking funny or something dying.

I used IPA on paper towels to get the gunk off the cables and everything came up perfectly (including removing his dig from the top), here's mine:

If you take a reasonable approach to him I'm sure he will be reasonable with you - his track record so far is spotless, perhaps if you post pics if your original and his unit together and give them to him as proof also that might help?

Ps, in the pics you send Petro, make sure you include serial numbers as proof of origin (surely he has recorded these?).
