Thanks guys - The 4000 is slated for surgery later today once I clear the workbench (Pun intended) of those nasty PC hybrid laptop thingies that people keep bringing me.
I have no doubt I will be seeking the advice of the sage souls here for capacitor and battery fixes having read some of the other posts regarding 4000 issues so be warned, if you sound like you know what you're doing, I'll probably be in your inbox at some point! I love a good session with the solder gun :flame:
One of my A1200's has a DF0: fault, but I'm reasonably sure I can sort that out and will then have at least one spare 1200 I'll be looking to swap out for one of those A600 thingies, just so I have the whole set you understand!
Quick word about my personal life, I'm a PC technician working for myself in paignton, company name is Phoenix Computers on Clifton road and would welcome visits from any/all Amigans in my locale - Have an ENORMOUS library of Amiga software for plundering etc if anyone needs anything!
Finally, cheers for the welcome and the advice - No doubt I'll be hanging around to bug some of you in the near future! :razz:
