Yes, but then you need to figure in the cost of some workbench disks

This is just another Amiga I have added to my collection and I already have workbench 3.1 disks plus the link you gave me was for wb 1.3 which is no good for an aga machine?

[Paulie85]

Yeah, I was just joking. Take a look at the price.

The system has had a lot of neglect it has dirt and gunk outside and a lot of dust inside so going to give it a good clean and bring up like new, the keys are yellowed and need to have clean, I was think of taking the plastic keys of the keyboard and putting them in a pillow case to clean them but don't know if this would clean them?

You can start with a good detergent (Dawn dish washing liquid) and soft scrub brush and if that fails try 90% isopropyl alcohol, although for old dried fingerprints Tert-Butyl alcohol works.  Then use a Retr0Brite solution of 12% hydrogen peroxide is a bowl of warm water for the yellowing; remember that once the are rinsed and dried from the peroxide bath to spray a coat of clear polyurethane to prevent yellow from returning.

Just a suggestion.

Cheers danbeaver will give it a try, I have just set it up to test it and it appears that the floppy drive is not working so looks like I am going to have to clean that to, if it still doesn't work then I will have to buy a new from amigkit.

Now treat her very well.
