Can anyone recommend this outfit for repairing Amiga hardware? Thanks.

Highly recommended.
Kind of pricey, but considering it is the only pro Amiga repair place left in the world, we should have nothing to complain about, I guess.
So far I've received nothing but excellent service.

Only have had good experience with them.
Fast reply to email and also very fast with shipping.
They do know what they are doing!
Prices are indeed expensive but with the professional job they are doing I think it is worth it.
Especially as it usely concerns expensive "old" hardware like cyberstormppc etc...

I had them repair a dead A4K Rev D motherboard and it was fast and great service, but about 1 year later it died the same way (bad chip ram on Rev D mobo). I asked if they can repair it and he wanted another $170. Was not happy about that so I decided to buy another working one instead for less. I ended up selling them my dead board for $75. LOL
Great service but very expensive. But hey we have expensive hobby right? ;)

Thanks for the info. I really want to get my Phase 5 Mark III board repaired. I'll send it out to them. They said diagnostic is free, then can quote a repair price.

From my experience, a ballpark price for a repair is in between 100 and 150EUR, shipping costs excluded, so I guess if your card can be fixed, that's the amount that you should expect to pay, providing that your 68060 CPU is OK. If it needs to be replaced then it could cost even more.

They have good reputation amongst french amiga users.
I wanted to repair a damaged BlizzardPPC (bad solderings on the multiplicator settings after overclocking of a previous owner) and they wanted 80 Euro shipping excluded.
But a fellow amiga user was kind enough to repair it for free instead :-) Very cool!
