How many A4000Ts (AT) are there?

[Wrangler]

Over at Big Book of Amiga Hardware, bitman is trying to come up with a definitive list of the number of Commodore A4000Ts still in existence. The answer seems to be: very, very few!

But it made me think: how many Amiga Technologies A4000Ts were/are there? I've not seen a figure on the web. Anyone know?

Haven't seen any numbers either, but up until 2010, 2011 or so they were available as new, unused units from Software Hut. So it has to be many, many more than the Commodore variant which was only sold for what, less than a year?

Start a list of A4000T users maybe? I have an Amiga Technology variant I still use daily.

Very good initiative

I see this in collecting all the time - people make the mistake of thinking the amount of something owned on a forum, or for sale on eBay, are all that exist. I see the phrase "one of a kind" on eBay all the time!

I would hazard a guess in most cases the amount of anything publicly known about is <10% of what still exists. As above, Software Hut had NOS units until a few years ago. Then there is that Indian stash of NOS A1200s Petro was selling a few years ago. Nothing mass produced is ever as rare as people think they are, they just aren't all for sale or owned by people you know.

There must have been at least 50,000 produced, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered.

My aim, edd_jedi, wasn't to prove rarity but just to answer the question "how many were produced?" Maybe 50,000 is the answer. Maybe it isn't.

I'd be curious to know how many were produced. I've heard the Commodore built version is estimated to be in the low 200's and you cant forget that AT built them as well as Quickpak through 1997 at least?

I don't think the stock at Softwarehut was very large. I knew they sold a lot more A4000 power tower conversions.
