Might have to take it easy on this Retired Navy Chief, he is doing pretty good and besides the Amiga core needs him, not to many people working on Amiga's anymore. Only thing is I never saw any Navy Chief work before, this is something new to me, but it looks like he is really working, and doing a fine job at it. Used to run a Pace station area, years ago. To bad of eye sight to do the work, but had all the knowledge to lead men to do the work. Wonder if this guy worked for me once when he was an airmen. Nah, to many people in CA.

Haha, some of us work hard. I wasn't in aviation. I was actually a Gunners Mate (Missiles) Still work for the Navy again after accepting an Engineering Technician position here in Port Hueneme. I worked as an Engineering Technician for Intel for a number of years after I retired, just didn't like the place much. Its good being back on my old Navy System again. I'm not the average Gunners Mate obviously. I went on and got Computer Science degrees while in while the others all chased girls and got drunk in port. ;)

SMD caps all removed and the pads cleaned up. Just waiting on my Hakko 880 desoldering gun to test out on the last two through holes. This one will be done tomorrow.

Guys I can attest to Acill's care and commitment and skills. He does top notch work and charges very little (he is underpaid actually lol) but he cares so much for the amiga community and restoring these machines! We are lucky to have his services in usa!

After being asked to put up a web site I have started to update my existing one. I'm working on adding new items as I have time, but a few basics are ready and live.

I'm glad to see things are picking up for you! The A600 you fixed up for me is purring along nicely. But I'm most happy having a real, friendly, and local person who actually knows both their electronics and Amiga stuff. Thanks for this service for the community!

Thanks to Acill for the quick turnaround, reasonable price and great work recapping my 4000T and all daughterboards!  Everything fired right up and my audio issue (low volume) is fixed!  Great communication from Acill during the whole process, highly recommended to anyone else looking for recap work!!

As a reminder for those looking for work done, I can only do so much. If you send me a board with a large amount of battery damage and severe cap leakage I will do my best to get things back to normal. Replacing caps is not an issue, but when doing so leads to other issues being discovered I unfortunately don't have the test equipment on hand to dig deep.
