Well, my first ever 1200XL just arrived with the following serial#:

83S DA 009504 103 - Made In U.S.A.

It's in BEAUTIFUL cosmetic condition, but I have yet to plug it in and check it out.

Minor nitpick here, but I just noticed my name was spelled wrong.

Remember, that eBay name protection thingy is active, I think, only when you aren't signed in. In other words, while your eBay name might be "atariguy" it may now show up as "m**y" if you are not signed in.

Clearly that means that "a**r" was really "bob1200xl"

[bob1200xl]

nooooooo... I don't have any place to put any more!

Can we message this guy on e-bay and invite him over?

Bob

Bob,

You didn't happen to get that USA 1200XL from Larry did you?

83S DA 019879 033 Larry USA 019879 1983 03 17-Jan-83 23-Jan-83
83S DA 019879 xx3 bob1200xl USA 019879 1983 xx #VALUE! #VALUE!

[bob1200xl]

I could have... I also have USA 039405. I think this is Larry's machine so I didn't include it.

039405 is his too. So you now own 019879 and are borrowing 039405 ? This gets confusing but it is rather fun.

I remember Bob saying once that he had stacks of them in boxes somewhere too, including some 1400s and 1450s.

Admit it, you've secretly clicked on that $169 1200xl on ebay once or twice, haven't you...? C'mon, be honest....

Looks like someone wanted one really bad and did the $169 BIN a few days ago...

[MEtalGuy66]

I got a really nice one for $9.00 on ebay a while back.. heres the serial number:

72R DA 04270 173

Now to find a 130xe motherboard for it. heheh...

[82atari5200]

72 R DA 28565 283 Great shape. Needs new keyboard though.

[poobah]

Got a new baby today:

72R DA 08352 193

she had some keyboard issues, but i think she's mostly better now

[Guitarman]

One more from the latest lot I picked up.

83S DA 010409 063 USA

[Trafo]

Hello,
I have

serial no. 83S DA 001840 073

Made in U.S.A.

[save2600]

I've got one here and its serial number is:

83S DA 024868 213... and made in the U.S.A.! I was surprised to see every
ROM & CPU was socketed. Looks well made and am looking forward to getting
an SIO cable to hook to the SIO2OSX dongle for some Pinball Construction Set
action!

I'm now the proud owner of an Atari 1200XL, made in USA, serial number 83S DA 014466 - 113. I'm living in Chile and got this extremely well kept machine from a collector who brought it from the US a couple of years ago.

Another new acquisition (in the box, woohoo!)

83S DA 49865 USA
