My Finnished AMIGA 1200.
« on: June 04, 2013, 05:55:18 PM »
Thanks to everyone for helping me make my decisions with my Amiga.
 
I bought an A1200 with faulty video, it worked through RGB but with a red tinge, which I wasn't really happy with. I don't have the tools or expertise to fix it myself so I'm going to send it away to someone who does.
 
I've bought a replacement motherboard which arrived yesterday.
 
Just put it all together.
 
A1200
Blizzard 030 @ 50Mhz with 32 MB
4GB CF HD
Easynet PCMCIA wifi card (which I have no idea about how to use or how to set up as I've only got Workbench installed and WHDLoad)
 
I bought a replacement second hand case and a brand new keyboard so that it looks almost as good as new, apart from the warped case at the bottom left, which I've noticed has happened to my brothers as well, must be a heat thing.

Haha, as if??!? I didn't think they'd be like that from new, I can rest my mind now.
 
Cheers for the comments. :)

What for you cool Blizzard's PCB?

 
I don't know to be honest, the card came from ebay like this.
 
I was dubious about buying it with the fan on it. Thought perhaps it had a problem that they were masking with a fan, but perhaps they were just prolonging its life by adding the fan?

I dunno. I thought they were all a bit shoddy. I used to have a 500. They all creaked like old wooden ships, they all turn brown with age. And those ridiculous rf modulators were just appaling.
The way the plastic cases have screw threads that easily worn away was poor too. But to be fair they were probably on some kind of a budget.  Suppose I better give em a break!! Lol
