Overhauling an Amiga 600.

#retrocomputing #amiga #commodore #a600

Some time ago I acquired a haul of Commodore stuff - fresh from the attic.

Usually I's not doing C= these days, but I had an A2000 during university ... sooo

The haul consisted of a
- highly modded C=64
- A600
- A1200
and
- A2000

Since then I am working on restoring them and the A600 is about to be finished ... only wating for sun to retrobright the keycaps.
It was a journey.
- cleaning the case
- replaced all SMDs with polymer caps
- hat to diagnose a non-working mouse/joystick ... turned out to be a defective LS157
- new membrane for the keyboard
- implanting a HD
- servicing the floppy, didn't note changes and was erratic in reading disks
- repairing the A601 RAM/RTC (exploded battery)
and, last step ...
- replacing the broken off clips

So - almost done. My plan is to sell off the A600 (and later the A1200 to new happy owners to cross-finance the A2000 ;).
