THAT was satisfying. I've been printing the front for a sidecar-type enclosure for my ACA500+ Amiga accellerator for use with my A1000...at an angle, on supports, as you do to make it look nice. I grab hold of it and pull, and the business end of the print just snaps off. Y'know, sometimes it's the little things in life #amiga #a1k #3dprinting #retrocomputing #nerdery

The keyboard for the Amiga 1000 is also all done - opened every one of the keyboard switches and treated the corrosion on the contacts inside with vinegar. A few were ok, but most of them were quite bad. Soaking in vinegar for a few hours did the trick for most of them. Still had to replace a few. Thankfully it's still possible to get these switches! Treated the rust on the top plate and painted it black, and gave it all a deep clean. Now it's back together and working fine, can't be many of these keyboards left with surviving stickers to make a norwegian layout! #amiga #a1k #commodore #retrocomputing #keyboard

This had my questioning my sanity. I'm restoring my Amiga 1000, a beautiful beige beast from the '80s. After changing the capacitors and replacing a CIA chip and the floppy drive, everything was fine and dandy when the computer was disassembeled on my workbench. When I rebuilt it, it wouldn't read disks, kickstart wouldn't load and I couldn't get anywhere. Taking it apart, with the seperate components spread out on the bench, it would work. Putting it together, the newly serviced floppy drive would yet again give up the ghost. Had to walk away from it for a while and think. Figured it out in the end: When I swapped out the floppy, the wires for the LED in front of the computer ended up in a different spot than before. They were lightly brushing up against the spinning platter underneath the drive, slighty slowing it down and making all reads fail. I made the wires longer and re-routed them, and now it works. Made my day! #amiga #a1k #commodore #retrocomputing
