Title: Hello from South Yorkshire
Post by: Soniq561 on December 19, 2012, 11:17:50 PM: I found this site after booting up my Amiga 500 the other week after 20+ years of hibernation and just recently got hold of a large lot of faulty retro machines which include

Amiga 500
Amiga 600
And Amiga 1200

As well as other stuff, Atari st, c64 and a couple of Atari 2600.

Over the next few months ill be looking at restoring or at least get working the lot.

I'm a mechanical engineer by trade but have a fair bit of pcb repair knowledge as I've been collecting and repairing arcade pcb's for a couple of years and have quite a large array of test equipment

On the down side as of yet ive never stripped or repaired an amiga and I know nothing about software and programming so ill have to trade knowledge for knowledge lol

Welcome from across the bridge :)

More round the M180 than across the bridge to South Yorkshire from Cleethorpes, shurely? (We're East Yorkshire up here across the bridge.) :-)

@Soniq561 - Welcome (back) to the Amiga!
(Warning: this hobby can take over your life.)

(PS I'm also a Mech Eng by trade, South Yorkshire's a good area for engineering jobs... East Yorkshire somewhat less so)
