Amiga Repairers Network
« on: August 07, 2010, 04:24:30 AM »
Hi everyone. I've wanted for a long time to organize a website or something that lists all the current Amiga repairmen from around the world, to make it easier for people to find someone close enough to send their hardware to when it needs to be fixed. Even if I can't get a website made for it, at the very least I'd like to make a list of these guys here on this thread, so if anyone is an Amiga repair guy or knows of some, please let me know here. Contact information and websites will be appreciated.

Here's the list so far:

Amiga Maniac - Sydney, Australia - http://amigamaniac.com/
Amisynth Diversified Electronic Solutions - Victoria, Australia - http://amisynth.on.net/
Amiga Technical Resource - Christchurch, New Zealand - http://amiga.serveftp.net/
Amiga Repair Centre - Couches, France - http://www.amigacenter.com/Homer.html
AmigaKit - UK - http://amigakit.com/
Ed Jeffries @ Video Lab
6909 Johnson Drive (lower level)
Mission, KS 66202 (USA)
(913) 403-0045
Hours: 10-5 Monday-Friday, 9-1 Saturday

I think it should be easier for people to find someone to help fix their Amigas!

Nice Idea :)

There is no one in my area that will even take a look at an Amiga (pc repair shops) let alone even attempt to fix one. :(

I always have to repair my own, which is quite easy enough, but the main problem these days is sourcing the parts...

Here's the list so far:

Amiga Technical Resource - Christchurch, New Zealand - http://amiga.serveftp.net/


That's me (Amiga Technical Resource) though I'm about to suspend all Amiga hardware work and parts supplies for the time being.  I'll be leaving the country for a year of technical work in Antarctica where I won't have any (easy) freight service.  Will put a notice on the website in the near future.

Technical support via Email to the usual address should continue as normal so long as I can keep the satellite link running.  The web server should keep running and content will be maintained so long as nothing bad happens to the A4000T while I'm away.

I'm planning to resume hardware services in November 2011.


Cheers,
Anthony.

Thanks for the advice :)
They give you all the special clothing free as part of the job, free rent, free cooked food.  Even the beer is duty free, so about 1/5th of bar prices back home.  24hrs daylight in summer, 24hrs darkness in winter.  Will take some getting used to I'm sure.

Don't think they have any Amigas though.  Let's just say I'll be getting used to WinUAE very quickly...

TOGA has a very good Amiga tech who repairs equipment.  He repaired/upgraded my Video Toaster A2000s, A4000, A1200 tower, Bodega Bay, and an A4000 tower for another group.  He has repaired/upgraded other platforms, too, like the Apple IIGS, Atari 800, and X68000.

I'm not specifically an "Amiga repair person" - I don't offer it as a business service or anything like that - but I am an Electronics Engineer by trade and in my spare time I'm always hacking and tinkering with electronic designs of my own or fiddling with other electronic things.  So repairing stuff is a part of my skill set.

I don't want to go into business offering an Amiga repair service, but if someone local asked me to take a look at a problem for them I'd be amenable to that.

I'm in South Wales, UK.

AH.
