It's a long while ago that I posted about #RetroComputer stuff. Time to change that. 😀
I got myself an #Amiga4000 for restauration. And I can tell you this much: there'll be a fair few things to get done.
I will post updates in this 🧵 in the next couple of months.
(And guess who was so excited that he forgot to take good "before" photos. 🙈)
The machine came with an Amiga 2000 style keyboard, an 68EC030 board (with FPU), a CyberVision 64 (2MB), a scandoubler, and a A2091 SCSI controller.
The good news: The infamous battery has already been removed.
The bad news: The previous owner tried their best to to fix the battery mess. But more on that when we get to the mainboard.
What I did in the past couple of days: Cleaning the case, and whitening the front. The result of the whitening is already quite visible. 😀
But Shred, what chemicals did you use?
Well, none. This is result after putting the front into the March sun for about a week. No chemicals required.
For a better result, I have to probably wait for June, when the sun is more intense. The UV level is currently still too low.
