Timothy Kline Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Checking in with December's 1200XL adoptions. [NOTE: As I begin shifting funds to other aspects of my growing Atari collection, I've nearly stopped with 1200XL purchases at this point (38 of them now in my collection at this point, if memory serves without checking my inventory spreadsheets).] Just the one addition for this month: 83S DA 009504 103 --Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+kheller2 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Can some of the 1200XL experts look at a couple of threads at atari-forum. Don't know if it is real or not, interesting or not. But somebody there claims it has some early unit, and possibly some internal Atari disk as well. The relevant threads are: http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=30662 http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=30562 I'm attaching the pictures for those without an account there: I'm assuming this is October 28, 1982... but it could be #10 out of 28 units?

+kheller2 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Alright, here's where my 1200XL collection stands currently (August 29, 2016). The additions that will need to be updated in the master list are marked accordingly. 83S DA 74543 208 *NEW ADDITION* That should wrap up my horde of 1200XLs for now. --Tim They made yours in 1988?

Timothy Kline Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 They made yours in 1988? Assuming 203. Good question. I'll have to double-check whether I have the "3" confused for an "8." --Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Kline Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Got that from Ogma? eBay, although I'm not sure whether I recorded which seller I bought it from. I can check this weekend since I need to pull one of the 1200XLs for something I'm up to. --Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBill777 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi! New guy here. I've got an Atari 1200xl that I saved up and bought when I was young. I'm not sure if it still works. I checked the voltage on the power supply I have and it is overvolted to 11 to 12 volts instead of the 9 volts output it should have. I need to purchase a new one and then test to see if it still powers up. Any good links on troubleshooting a 1200xl? Anyways, Here is the serial number on mine: 72 R DA 10201 203 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, Here is the serial number on mine: 72 R DA 10201 203 AC voltages often read higher than listed RMS values, because inexpensive meters normally give a peak voltage reading rather than RMS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square The higher reading won't be an issue, especially since the 1200XL an has internal rectifier/voltage regulator to produce the +5VDC that the circuitry actually uses.

Timothy Kline Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I should probably give an update, since it's been a while... Three more adoptions here: 72R DA 06306 173 83S DA 020560 073 83S DA 49762 173 --Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamer320i Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Three more for the records! - 72R DA 03198 163 - sticker on motherboard says '21 Apr 1983' so I guess that narrows it down! Now living in the UK with an Atarimax 32-in-1 fitted and the 'usual' mods (Clearpic, +5v SIO and keyboard fix) 83S DA 013175 133 - Now in the UK, again having the usual mods and an U1MB. 83S DA 017156 133 - On it's way to the UK, currently stock.

Timothy Kline Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 42? You own 42?!?! Dare I ask if that is a number you strived for? How many 800XLs you got? I was thinking 40 should pretty much do it, but it is so close to the 50 mark that I figured, meh, why not go big or go home. So, 50 it is. Or will be. Some day. As for 800XLs, I think I have 5 or 6 of them. But I love the 1200XL, so it gets priority. --Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, the prices on them this year have been TERRIBLE!! I'm glad I did nearly all of my adoptions last year. Now, people are trying and actually succeeding at selling 1200XLs in upwards of $300, which is insane. In fact, there are two on there now that are close to that $300 mark-- not counting one that's listed for $180 and looks like it is either suffering some serious perspiration, or was Vaselined... o.O --Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing two keycaps, too. I made a lowball offer on the one that's being sold "as-is" with a 1050 for $270. Came back with a $250 counter-offer. No thanks.

Brentarian Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've bid on quite a few 1200XLs in the past year, but as soon as I see Ebay ID t***h bidding, I usually just step back and watch the show. Seriously, if I had the funds and storage space for fifty 1200XLs then I would be buying them up also! It is a beautiful machine. I only have one working at the moment, and two that need some TLC, so one or two more is all I need. Three days ago one sold for $89.99 with free shipping with a Buy it Now. You have to be quick on those... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
