417.0. "Amiga Prices" by THRUST::RILEY () Mon Mar 30 1987 15:03

I am thinking about buying an Amiga and am trying to find the best
deal.  I have found an ad for a store in New York City that will sell
the Amiga for $650 without a monitor.  Does anybody know where I could
get a good price on a monitor.  I don't want to use a TV.

Or, does anybody know of a good package price?

Thanks
John

	Can you give more info on the store in NY?  I've been looking, and
that is the best price I've seen.  I don't want a monitor with mine.

    is that $650 for an Amiga 1000?
    
    The reason i ask is $650 is the future list price of the Amiga 500.

    The SONY KV1311CR is on sale at Lechmere this week for $429. I have
    seen it at Lechmere for $399 in the past, but the dollar/yen rate
    keeps changing.

    For those interested in great monitors...Lechmere is having a
    sale on the 1311 monitor from Sony. I own one of these babies and
    they are great! Well worth the 449$

417.8Need cabling helpSQM::JMSYNGEJames M Synge, VMS Performance Anal.Wed Apr 01 1987 13:059
>    The SONY KV1311CR is on sale at Lechmere this week for $429.

How does one hook this baby up to the Amiga?  I rushed out and bought one,
having seen it on a friends Amiga.  But now I don't have all the necessary
cabling.  Are there any stores within an hour of Nashua which sell this?

Thanx in advance,
James
417.9Computer Mart has'emAUTHOR::MACDONALDWA1OMM Listening 224.64Wed Apr 01 1987 13:153
    Computer Mart (Nashua and Manchester) sell the cable. Its custom
    made, but they usually have a couple in stock. I believe the price
    is $50!
417.10ECC::JAERVINENI'm apathetic and I don't care.Wed Apr 01 1987 14:018
    Building one is trivial (I made mine for the VR241): Get a 23-pin
    connector for the Amiga side, a Scart connector for the Sony side,
    some coax (I used video cable that had six video coax cables combined)
    and do some soldering! You need 4 pieces of coax if you use separate
    cables (R, G, B and sync).
    
    No, I don't remember the pinouts by heart!

    Cables-to-Go sells the required beast for $29.00.
    
    They are at..
    
    4215 N. Main St.
    Suite 201
    Dayton Ohio, 45405

    They sent mine out UPS red and I got it the next day.
    By the way, run 'SETLACE' in 640 x 200 mode, and adjust the vertical
    hold on the Sony, and you'll see the horizontal scan lines disappear.
    You can get setlace from JAKE::USER2:[ACCIARDI.AMIGA]
    It is a small (2k) command that I install as the first line of my
    startup-sequence.
