hi,So apparently (according to this http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/amstrad-cpc-hardware/sales-figures/ ) there were 70,000 Amstrad CPC 664's made, but how many CPC 472's ? does anyone know ? or to put it another way, which is rarer, the 664 or the 472 ?
follow on question, according to this timeline https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/472#2._CPC472_with_British_Keyboard there were 2 models of 472 produced, one with the english keyboard and one with the spanish keyboard, any idea how many of each of those variations were produced ?
thanks in advance for any pointers
cheers

how can you say for certainty that the 472 is rarer i'm interested to know more, also what is the 7512 ?

Gryzor

IIRC the relevant law was repealed soon thereafter, so I'd guess that probably not a significant number of 472s was produced.

The 7512 was produced for a brief time in Gunhed's head, between the 6128 and the 81024. I guess it had both a drive and a tape, while the 81024 came with two drives? I'm sure he'll tell us more.

GUNHED

Well, I saw a 472 once in my lifetime. But I saw about 50-60 CPC664. Precise numbers are not known to me - and it would't help  Cause it's not telling how many are alive today.

I'd say the 472 by far.


Consider that it was only released in Spain for a very short time, while the 664, even as short-lived as it was, was sold for longer and in several countries (you have Amstrad and Schneider 664, for example).

Gryzor

664 was sold for 6 or 7 months I think?

Have you ever seen the Amstrad CPC 5512?
